Mail-in voting is available and no excuse is required. The last day to request a mail-in ballot is 14 days before the election. You can return your mail-in ballot request form through mail, in person at your local elections office, or online. Voted ballots must be received or postmarked by 8 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. You can sign up to track your mail-in ballot on your Board of Elections website. 

Those who requested a mail-in ballot but end up voting in person will have to vote a provisional ballot. If you have not already voted, election officials will count that ballot as your vote. Do not mail a ballot and vote in person. For specifics, you can find your local county clerk contact info here.

Voters who submitted a request for a mail ballot at least 60 days prior to an election will receive their mail ballots 43 days prior to the election. For those who applied for a mail ballot within 60 days of the election, their ballot will be dispatched as soon as the request is received.
