Tell your friends: if you can't find your mail-in ballot go vote in person!

Can I vote in person even though I requested a ballot?

Yes. However, depending on whether you already returned your ballot and if the supervisor of elections’ office has received your ballot, you may vote either a regular ballot or a provisional ballot. Visit our webpage on Vote-by-Mail for information on How to Vote in Person if You Already Requested a Ballot.

The absentee was an emergency backup if I had to work out of town or caught Covid.

We tell our voters that a vote by mail ballot is an insurance policy- it gives you additional time and additional ways to vote, but you can still stand in line, get IDed, and vote in person if you prefer.

Voters get extra options and convenience and the party gets significantly higher turnout. In our county 91% of Democratic voters who received a vote by mail ballot are already logged in as having voted and there are still 3 more days for ballots to be received and in-person voting on Election Day is still an option. We are lucky if our non-vote-by-mail voters turn out at a 60% rate.
