SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT "PERMANENT" MAIL-IN VOTING
​
If you selected to be a "Permanent" mail-in voter, you must still request your mail-in ballot each spring. Even if you received Mail-in Ballots last year, you must still request a Mail-in Ballot this year. If you requested a Mail-in Ballot in the Spring, you will be sent a Mail-in Ballot for both the Primary Election AND the General Election. However, even if you select "Permanent" status, you must request/apply for a Mail-in Ballot every year. This is a safety precaution that prevents Ballots being mailed out automatically each year. For more information, go to the Board of Elections website page for Permanent Mail-in Voters:
Banking your vote is safe, easy and secure,
and it wins elections.
