What's changed when voting by mail for the 2026 election?
We recommend returning your mail ballot directly to your elections office in person or in an official ballot drop box.
If you mail your ballot back, mail it as soon as possible!
[In STATE, mail ballots must be postmarked by DEADLINE to count.]
