 When and where to vote

Most states and territories offer flexible options to make voting work for your needs. Here are the options that may be available in your state.

Voting in person

Most Election Day voters have to show up at a polling place physically. Arriving at the voting site, you will find election officials waiting to assist you. You will vote electronically or on a paper ballot by marking your selections. Locate your voting place. Jurisdictional variations exist in the opening and closing times for voting sites. Contact your state or local election administration if you need help with your voting place.

Early voting

A few polling sites are open before Election Day. See whether your state or territory permits early in-person voting; otherwise, find out early voting policies and dates from your local election office.

Voting by mail and absentee voting

Some states conduct elections just by mail. Others let you ask for an absentee ballot if you cannot cast a personal vote or simply would want to vote via mail. Every state has laws; thus, check out if you can vote by mail in your state. 

How to return a mail ballot

By mail: Ballots in several states and territories come with a paid return envelope. Others require you to add postage before mailing it. Before mailing, ensure your return envelope is totally filled out. 


Dropbox or in-person: Should you return your ballot to an official ballot drop box or local election office, you are exempt from needing a stamp. Though their location and availability may vary, many people use drop boxes. To locate your closest drop box, enquire at your local election office.
