Voter Account
Worried about the USPS? Here are your in-person ballot return options.
Note: 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 the best option.
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.
