ABSENTEE VOTE BY MAIL INSTRUCTIONS

You can request your ballot for each individual election beginning on January 1 or 90 days before the date of an election, whichever is earlier, but you must complete and submit a separate application for each election in which you want to vote. Your request must be received by your local county board of elections by noon the third day before the election (usually a Saturday). However, you should submit your request as far in advance of the election as possible to ensure there is sufficient time for the board to mail you a ballot and for you to timely return that ballot.

Failure to complete the application correctly may result in a delay in receiving your ballot, so please read carefully and call the Board of Elections with any questions.
