Vote-by-mail means a voter receives a ballot by mail or has one picked up for them instead of voting at a polling place during early voting or on Election Day. Any registered voter may request a vote-by-mail ballot; after a general election, voters must submit a new request.
A domestic civilian vote-by-mail ballot is not forwardable by the U.S. Postal Service. If a ballot is returned as undeliverable during any election, the request on file will be canceled. Voters should notify the Supervisor of Elections’ office immediately if their mailing address changes or if they will be out of town so their ballot can be sent to the correct address.
If you plan to mail your ballot back, send it as soon as possible to allow time to correct a missing or mismatched signature. You may also drop off your ballot in person at the elections office during normal hours or at early voting sites during early voting. Ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections’ office by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Aug. 18, to be counted. The office at 105 E. Monroe St. will be open until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
