Do I have to mail my ballot?
No. If you prefer not to use the USPS, you have other secure options:
- Drop Box: Drop your ballot off at a secure drop box. Find locations here.
- In-Person: Drop it off at an early voting location or on Election Day. Find a polling place.
⚠️ Deadline Alert: If you use a drop box, your ballot must be dropped off before 8:00 pm on Election Day.

What if my signature doesn’t match?
Your county election officials compare the signature on your ballot envelope with your previous voting records.
If there is a mismatch, you will be notified. You will receive an opportunity to submit an affidavit (a “cure letter”) to confirm your identity. Once received, your ballot will be counted.
