I want to return my absentee ballot. What do I need to know?
Your vote is your voice. Be heard.
We urge you to return your absentee ballot immediately. When you do, you make your voice heard—all while easing pressure on voting lines and helping yourself, election workers, and your community stay safe and healthy.
What should I keep in mind when completing my absentee ballot?
Be sure you read the instructions thoroughly and carefully complete your ballot.
Don’t forget to sign and date your form!
How do I track the status of my ballot?
Easy.
Visit the Secretary of State’s ballot tracker, share some basic data—your name, date of birth, and ID number—and their online search tool will let you know when your ballot was sent, received, and counted.
If you mailed your ballot and your clerk hasn’t received it yet, you can still vote at your polling place. Just tell the election judge you’d like to invalidate your absentee ballot and vote in person.
What if I have questions?
Did you make a mistake on your ballot? Was your ballot damaged in the mail? Is something unclear and you need a helping hand? Whatever your question, contact your county election official. They’ll be able to help ensure you can vote—and vote safely.
