How to vote: The safest and simplest way to vote is to request a ballot and vote by mail. But unlike in the Primary, you will not receive a ballot unless you request it. You will get an application in the mail, and you can either return it by mail or go online and request your ballot there. After you’ve received your ballot, there are three ways to vote:
1. The first option is to mail your ballot back. There will be instructions on your ballot on how and where to mail your ballot.
2. If you prefer to avoid mailing your ballot, you can drop off your ballot in a secured box during early voting. These boxes are at every voting location and are protected 24/7.
3. Finally, you can still vote in person on election day or during early voting. You can visit any polling place in your county, and please be sure to wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
