Voting by Mail
Voting by mail is a convenient option for eligible voters who cannot vote in person, such as those who are 65 or older, sick, disabled, out of the county during the election, expecting a child near Election Day, or confined but otherwise eligible.
This 8-step process ensures your vote is counted, but timing is critical—especially for international travelers. To receive and return your ballot before departing, start the process early, as it can take 7–10 days to receive your ballot after applying, plus additional mailing time for international addresses.
For complete instructions, additional options, and questions about the process, visit the Vote by Mail webpage for your county of Residence:
