Voter Account
Here are your in-person ballot return options for the 2022 Midterm Primary Elections.
All states allow postal return, and commercial courier delivery, but if you can drop your ballot off in-person at your Local Election Office or Dropbox Location - that is a good option, too!
For election office addresses and contact details, check the Election Official Directory. For Drop Box location listings, check the State Voting Requirements / State Lookup Tools section for your state.
