Review mail, absentee, and early-voting resources, including request deadlines, return rules, and ballot-tracking options.
Review mail, absentee, and early-voting rules for your state.
Mail voting, absentee voting, and early voting are governed by state rules. Eligibility, request deadlines, return deadlines, witness or ID requirements, ballot tracking, and drop-off options can all vary by location.
- Check whether you need to request a ballot or whether one is automatically mailed.
- Review how to return the ballot: mail, election office, drop box, or polling place where available.
- Track your ballot if your state provides ballot-tracking tools.
