- Check if your state allows mail-in voting: Not all states offer mail-in voting, so check with your state's election office to see if it's an option. You can find your state's election office contact information on the National Association of Secretaries of State website.
- Find your local election office: Look up your local election office's contact information, which can usually be found on your state's election website or by searching online for "your state/city/county election office."
- Request a mail-in ballot application: You can typically request a mail-in ballot application by:
- Visiting your local election office's website and downloading the application.
- Calling your local election office and asking for an application to be mailed to you.
- Sending a written request to your local election office.
- Fill out the application: Complete the application with the required information, including your name, address, date of birth, and voter registration information.
- Submit the application: Return the completed application to your local election office by:
- Mailing it to the address listed on the application.
- Faxing it to the office (if they accept faxes).
- Hand-delivering it to the office.
- Wait for your ballot to arrive: Once your application is processed, your local election office will mail your ballot to you. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with your ballot to ensure it's counted.
Some states also offer online portals where you can request a mail-in ballot application and track the status of your ballot. You can search for "online mail-in ballot request" along with your state's name to see if this option is available.
