Mail-In Ballot/Early Voting

Any registered voter may apply for a mail-in ballot; no reason is required for this request.  The application for a mail-in ballot may be obtained from your County Clerk as early as January 1 of the election year and no later than close of business on the Friday immediately preceding the election.  A mail-in ballot must be received at your county clerk's office by 7 PM on Election Day.

A Permanent Mail-In Ballot may be obtained from your county clerk or on the
Secretary of State's website.  Your name will be placed on a list to receive a ballot for each applicable election.  With this provision, you need not apply for a mail-in ballot each year.

Early voting polling places are provided by each county.  Anyone who wishes may vote in person at locations designated by the county clerk 10 days before the Primary Election and 15 days before a General Election or other November election.  Early voting ends on the Friday preceding the election.
