Apply for A Vote By Mail Ballot Today

As of March 30, you can apply for a vote by mail ballot from your election authority.

The first step is to check your voter registration and make sure you are registered to vote. Only registered voters will be issued a vote by mail ballot. Next, find your election authority, go to their website and follow the directions to apply for a vote by mail ballot.

You can apply for permanent vote by mail status as early as 45 days before election day. Voters with permanent vote by mail status will be automatically sent a vote by mail ballot for every election. You can ask to be removed from this list at any time.

• May 19: First day for the election authority to send vote by mail ballots to applicants.

• June 13: Early voting begins. Voters may place their vote by mail ballots in a drop box, if drop boxes are available in their county. Voters may also deliver their vote by mail ballots in person to their local election authority during early voting. Check with your election authority for locations.

• June 23: Last day for an election authority to receive vote by mail ballot applications via mail.

• June 27: Last day for a registered voter to apply in person at an election authority for a vote by mail ballot.

• June 28: General primary election day! Mailed-in ballots must be postmarked by this date. Voters may also drop off vote by mail ballots with their election authority or in a drop box. Check with your election authority for locations.

NOTE: If you change your mind, you may surrender your vote by mail ballot at your polling place and vote in person instead. If you lose your vote by mail ballot, or it doesn’t arrive in the mail, you can vote with a provisional ballot at your polling place. Provisional ballots are counted 14 days after the polls close, once the election authority confirms that you haven't cast a vote by mail ballot.
