Ballot Return Locations

Your county election office must RECEIVE your completed mail ballot by November 5, 2024, at 8 p.m. A ballot postmarked by 8 p.m. on November 5 is not sufficient. Since there are only a few days before the election, voters should bring their ballots to a designated ballot drop-box instead of mailing them to ensure their ballot is received in time.
