Key Dates for the 2022 General Election
Nov. 1 is the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot.
Nov. 8 is Election Day and the last day to vote by mail. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voting by Mail
Any qualified voter may apply for a mail-in ballot or absentee ballot. Absentee ballots require you to list a reason for not voting in person; regular mail ballots do not.
Applications for mail and absentee ballots can be requested online or you can download the form and return it to your County Voter Registration Office no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
After you receive your ballot, fill it out following the instructions. Sign the declaration and mail or deliver the ballot to your County Voter Registration Office.
If you have an emergency (such as an unexpected illness or disability or last-minute absence from your municipality) you may still be able to get a ballot after the deadline. Here’s information about how to get an emergency absentee ballot.
