Mail-In Ballot Update: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has made adjustments to their transportation operations. As a result of those changes, some mailpieces will not be postmarked on the same day that the mailpiece is collected by a carrier or deposited at a Postal Service retail location. This may affect postmark dates for voter registration updates submitted by mail.

Voters can ensure that a postmark is applied to their voter registration application, and that the date on the postmark matches the date of mailing, by visiting a USPS retail location and requesting a manual (local) postmark at the retail counter when presenting their voter registration application. Manual postmarks are provided free of charge.

Submit your voter registration application as soon as possible to ensure the postmark date is on or before the required deadline.
