Please be aware that you’ll be asked for your i.d. if you’re dropping off an absentee ballot on Monday, November 2, at a designated polling place during permissible hours (please see below). Your sealed ballot will be stamped and you will need to write your name, your relationship to voter (self), the date and sign it within the designated box before you turn it in.
Monday, November 2 is the last day to drop off absentee ballots. (If you miss this deadline, please take your absentee ballot and i.d. with you to your designated polling place on Tuesday, November 3, and explain your situation so that your ballot can be returned as invalid and you can make arrangements to vote-in-person at that time.)
