After sending in your mail-in ballot, the state will send you your ballot and envelopes. Read it carefully and follow the instructions on the ballot to complete it and then return it.
​
Ballots can be sent back through mail with a postmark on. Be sure to send it in before November 3rd, 2020 to be counted as a valid ballot if received before 8:00PM on November 10th. Ballots without a postmark that are received within 48 hours of closing polls on November 3rd will still be considered valid.
