Absentee voters will receive a pre-addressed envelope and an affidavit along with the ballot. An affidavit is an oath that the written statement is true. You must sign the affidavit and put your ballot in the provided envelope.
The envelope you receive with the affidavit and the ballot will have the address already printed on it. Once you fill out your ballot and sign the affidavit, all you have to do is seal the documents in the pre-addressed envelope and mail the envelope.
If you have questions about mailing your absentee ballot, contact your local County Clerk’s Office. Find your nearest local County Clerk office and contact information here, or in the section above.
To vote by mail, you must first request an absentee ballot in person or online. Your local County Clerk’s office must receive your in-person application for an absentee ballot at least 7 days before the election day.
If you apply for an absentee ballot online, your application request will typically process immediately but may take a few days to process. Be sure you apply for an absentee ballot online at least 25 days before the election, and account for the time it may take for your application to process.
