Vote by Mail
Absentee voting is available and no excuse is required. The last day to request an absentee ballot is Friday before the election. Voted ballots must be received by Election Day at 7:00 pm in order to be counted.
Simply click here, print your absentee ballot application and submit your application by mail, by fax or in-person to your local county elections office.
For assistance completing your absentee ballot application, please visit this link. Upon completion, confirm your absentee ballot status online here.
If you have received an absentee ballot and have decided that you would instead like to vote in person, you must bring your absentee ballot to the polls with you and hand it to the poll worker. If you applied for an absentee ballot and never received it, you will be asked to sign an affidavit before voting in person.
Vote In-Person
If at all possible, consider voting in person early between December 14 through January 5 at your polling location.
For your personal safety, we encourage you to wear a mask, bring your own hand sanitizer and maintain a social distance of minimum 6 feet from others whenever possible.
To confirm your polling location, please click here.
Be sure to bring your ID! Personal identification is required in order for you to vote.
If you or someone you know are in need of a ride to an absentee ballot box or to the polls up through January 5, please email Earl Wasserman.
