Absentee Ballots

All registered voters now can vote early! 

  • Mail-in applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. the Friday before the election.  Your ballot will be mailed to you.
  • Voters also can drop off their application in person at the City Clerk's office by 4:00 p.m. the Monday before the election and get your ballot.  Please be aware that due to no-reason absentee voting and same-day registration, there may be long lines, so we encourage you not to wait until the day before the election to request a ballot.
