Mail-In Voting
Mail-in ballots are for any eligible voter. You do not need an excuse or reason to request a mail-in ballot.
When you apply to be an annual mail voter, you are indicating that:
You want to receive a mail ballot for every election until the 3rd Monday in February of the following year. (You will automatically receive a mail ballot for any election during that period.)
AND
You would like your county board of elections to remind you to apply to vote by mail every year. By February, you will receive a paper request form for mail ballots for every election during that year or you can submit a request online. You must submit a request to vote by mail ballot every year that you wish to vote by mail.
