When can I vote?

To vote by mail, you must request a mail-in ballot from the State Board of Elections or your local board. Your request for a mail-in ballot for the Gubernatorial General Election must be submitted as follows:

  • If you hand deliver your request and the ballots are ready, you can pick up your mail-in ballot. You may take your mail-in ballot with you and return it by mail or you can vote it at the local board office and give it to an election official.

  • The deadline to request a mail-in ballot in person is election day, November 3, 2026 by 8 pm. Please visit your local board of elections' website for hours of operation.
