You can vote in person at your county clerk’s office from Sept. 18th to Nov. 2nd at 5:00 p.m. before the election, using an absentee ballot. No excuse required. For specific dates and times reach out to your local office.
To vote absentee-by-mail, first you’ll need to apply for an absentee ballot. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is Nov. 2nd, but we recommend completing this application as soon as possible. Then, when you complete your absentee ballot, it must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Your signature envelope might have a box for a witness to complete and sign. Due to COVID19, there is no witness requirement for registered voters for the November 3, 2020 State General Election. Non-registered voters will still need a witness, to indicate their proof of residence.
The absentee ballot application period opens Jan. 1st. You may request to receive ballots for multiple elections during the calendar year, no excuse required.
