Absentee ballot

It's too late to mail your absentee ballot and you should be careful about who hand delivers it. Ballots must be received, not postmarked, by your county board of elections by 7:30 p.m. on November 3. If anyone other than you, your legal guardian, or a near relative turns in your ballot, it won't be counted. A near relative is your spouse, brother, sister, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, stepparent, or stepchild. If you have a disability, anyone can help you return it, they just have to tell elections staff they're assisting a voter with a disability. More voting info at the link in our bio and if you have any questions or concerns, call or text the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline: 888-OUR-VOTE.

TOMORROW, Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. is the absentee ballot request deadline. Although the request deadline is tomorrow, mail delays may prevent it from arriving by Nov. 3. To return: don’t mail it, hand deliver it. You, or a near relative can hand-deliver your absentee ballot to your county board of elections. A near relative is your: Spouse, Brother, Sister, Parent, Grandparent, Child, Grandchild, Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, Daughter-in-law, Son-in-law, Stepparent, Stepchild. Get all your voting info at the link in our bio.

Don't let the dates confuse you. 📬 Today, Oct. 16, is the last day we recommend mailing back your absentee ballot. You can still request a ballot until Oct. 20 at 5 p.m., but after today, hand-deliver it to your county board of elections instead of mailing it. You, or a near relative can drop it off. A near relative is your spouse, brother, sister, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, stepparent, or stepchild. Mailed ballots must be received, NOT postmarked, by 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3. More info at the link in our bio.

If you can, we encourage you to vote in person during early voting, Oct. 15–31. But if you've already requested an absentee ballot, BallotTrax makes it easy to keep tabs on your ballot from the time it's sent to the time it's received. 📬 Mailing it back?
