VOTE BY MAIL

Voting by mail is convenient and easy. It’s three easy steps:

1. Register to vote.

2. Fill out and mail a Vote By Mail Application accessed here (English) and here (Español).

3. Receive your Ballot in the mail. Follow the instructions, vote Democrat, and mail it out before Election Day.

PLEASE NOTE: A new 2019 law on voting by mail stipulates that if you voted by mail in 2017 and afterwards, you are automatically going to receive a Vote-By-Mail Ballot for every election unless you opt-out. As a result, you will not be permitted to vote on a voting machine on Election Day. Voters can either utilize the Vote-By-Mail Ballot they receive or vote on a paper provisional ballot at the polls on Election Day. To opt-out of voting by mail, you can opt-out at any time by filling and mailing this form accessed here.
