    Tips for Vote By Mail Voters

    • Apply early! Voters can request an Absentee Ballot Application as early as 12 months before an election. Please allow enough time for your application to be processed and your ballot to be mailed to you. Your voted ballot must be received by your Electoral Board in time to be counted on Election Day.
    • Please fill out the form completely. Omissions on your form can jeopardize your ability to vote.

    • Please do not attempt to vote by mail and vote in person unless it is Election Day and you have not received your vote by mail ballot.If you go to your polling place on Election Day and are marked as having already requested a vote-by-mail ballot:   
      • If you have your ballot with you, you will be asked to void your vote-by-mail ballot and you will be issued a new ballot to vote.
      • If you do not have your ballot with you,  you will be asked to vote a provisional ballot in which the Electoral Board will meet the day after the election, verify that an absentee ballot has not already been cast before deciding if your provisional ballot should be counted.
