Vote by Mail/Absentee Voting

You can vote by mail before an election by requesting and receiving an absentee ballot. Once you’ve successfully sent in your request, you will receive an absentee ballot in the mail no earlier than 28 days before the election. For the ballot to be counted, you must have to have it mailed in to the Board of Elections no later than 3 days before the election.

Click here to get a copy of the absentee ballot request form. You can print this form, complete it, and mail to the Board of Elections. Once they receive it, you will be sent your absentee ballot. 

You will mail both your absentee ballot request form and your completed ballot to:
