Request Your Mail Ballot

All registered voters can request a mail ballot - no reason is needed. Registered voters have 2 options:

Ask to be added to the continuing (permanent) vote by mail list. Unless you move, request to be removed from the list, or die, you will receive a mail ballot for every election you are eligible to vote in. Make your request now through Mar 12, 2026.
Request a mail ballot for each election in which you want to vote by mail. For the 2026 Primary Election, make your request now through Mar 12, 2026.

How to request a mail ballot? Visit the County Clerk's Vote by Mail page for all the information needed for either option.
