ABSENTEE BALLOT REQUESTS
The last day that voters can request an application for an absentee ballot is Saturday, April 25, 2026; however, the Election Commission strongly recommends that individuals that wish to vote absentee make their request as soon as possible, to allow as much time as possible for the ballot to reach the voter and for the voter to return the ballot.
As a reminder, absentee ballots must be received by the Election Commission by USPS mail or another carrier such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL no later than the close of polls on Election Day. Ballots CANNOT be hand delivered to the Election Commission office or to a polling place.
