Frequently Asked Questions

• If I request an absentee ballot, can I still vote in person?

  • Yes! If you request an absentee ballot and decide you’d like to vote in person, you can take your ballot into your polling place and they will give you a new ballot to vote there.

• How do I return my absentee ballot?

  • You need to sign your ballot envelope before you turn it in!

  • Once you sign, you can put it in the mail (and get it in as soon as possible - ballots have to be in-hand at the county Elections’ offices by the time the polls close. Ballots postmarked by November 2 will not count if the Elections office doesn’t have them.)

• Where do I vote on Election Day?

  • You can check your polling place and your registration status by clicking here.

• Can I register to vote at the polls?

  • Yes! You will go to the polling place for your precinct and tell them you need to register to vote. You will need to bring a valid photo ID and a proof of residency (like a utility bill). 

• What do I need to bring to the polls?

  • If you are already registered to vote, you do not need to bring an ID. You can sign an affidavit instead of providing an ID. 

  • If you’re not already registered and will be registering at the polls, bring a valid photo ID and proof of residency. 

• Has the county received my absentee ballot?

  • You can check the status of your absentee ballot here.  

• When should I expect my ballot?

  • The county has already started mailing absentee ballots! Ballots will be sent out on a rolling basis as you request it through the deadline. You should expect to receive your ballot in 7-10 days after requesting it.
