Vote by Mail means you can vote anywhere, anytime!

Vote by Mail is also known as “absentee ballot.”

No lines! No waiting! No having to take time off from work!

You’ll get your ballot by mail. Fill it in, and mail it back well before Election Day.
(You also may be able to drop it off, if you prefer.)

In most states, you MUST apply to Vote by Mail ahead of time (exceptions are state where everyone votes by mail, or if you opted in when you registered). Contact your state election office for how it works in your state.
