You have three options. Because your county must receive it by 7pm on Election Day, we recommend returning it as early as possible. ‍

• ‍Option 1: Drop it off at a ballot return location near you. Find your ballot drop off location.
• ‍Option 2: Bring it in person to your county elections office before 7pm on Election Day.‍
• Option 3: Mail it to your county elections office at least 7 days before Election Day to ensure it arrives on time.

What if I’m worried my ballot won’t arrive in time, or I want to vote in person instead?

You can always vote in person during early voting — as long as you have not returned the mail ballot you requested or received.

• You’ll need to let a poll worker know that you requested/received a mail ballot but want to vote in person. If you have your mail ballot, bring it with you to speed up the process. Election staff can cancel your mail ballot and allow you to vote in person.

If it is Election Day and your ballot is not marked as “ACCEPTED” on My Voter Page, you can go to your assigned Election Day voting location.

• You’ll need to let the poll worker know that your mail ballot was not accepted and that you want to vote in person. Be sure to look up your Election Day voting location on My Voter Page.

Can someone else return my ballot for me?

The following people can return your ballot on your behalf:

• Your spouse, parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, in-laws (son, daughter, mother, father, brother, or sister-in-law), or anyone else living in your household.
• Disabled voters may also receive assistance from a caregiver, and the caregiver can return the ballot even if they do not live with the voter.

What if there’s a problem with my ballot?

Check My Voter Page immediately. If your ballot doesn’t show a received date or doesn’t say “Accepted,” contact your county elections office right away.
