NOTE: If you did not return your mail-in or absentee ballot and you want to vote in person, you can:
- Bring your ballot and the pre-addressed outer return envelope to your polling place to be voided. After you surrender your ballot and envelope, and sign a declaration, you can vote by regular ballot.
- If you do not surrender your ballot and return envelope, you can only vote by provisional ballot at your polling place. Before counting your provisional ballot, the county board of elections will need to verify that you did not already vote by mail.
