Mail-in ballots

The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is 5pm on Nov. 1.

• Each ballot includes paid postage so you can return it by mail.
• If you’ve already received your ballot, mail it ASAP. Election clerks will count ballots that come in as late as Nov. 12, but only if they’re postmarked by Election Day.
• Check the status of your mail-in ballot through the state’s Track My Ballot webpage.
