Early Voting: April 24th - June 8th (In-person absentee)
You can vote in-person absentee from the time the ballots become available until 3:00 pm the day before the election. The absentee ballot must be postmarked by Election Day.
You may apply to change to vote-by-mail status without an excuse at any time. Either select permanent mail-in voter when registering to vote, or by submitting a county-based request for mail-in ballots.
