When returning absentee ballots, the ballot envelope must be postmarked by the day before the election in order to be counted. You can also return your absentee ballot in-person to our office before the close of the polls at 7:30 pm on Election Day.
A new application must be completed and submitted for each election in which you want to vote. We can accept applications as early as January 1 or 90 days before the date of an election, whichever is earlier.
When We Receive Your Ballot
Bipartisan teams of each major party will open the return envelope and the ID envelope will be verified with the information and signature with the registration record. If there is required information missing you will be notified what is needed and how to cure the issue so that your ballot counts. This information is also found on online with the Track My Ballot link.
Bipartisan teams will process the ballots and on Election Night the Absentee results will be tabulated and reported shortly after 7:30 p.m. Election Night. Absentee results are the first results reported on Election Night.
If you requested an absentee ballot and decided to later go to the polling location you will be required to vote a provisional ballot.
Note: No voted ballot may be returned to a board of elections by fax or e-mail. If a voted ballot is returned by fax or e-mail, it will not be accepted, processed, or counted.
