Postal voting on election day

If you still haven’t returned your mail-in ballot, you can also drop it off at your polling place, drop it in a mailbox, or drop it off at your clerk’s office by 8 p.m

Here’s how to track your mail-in ballot.

Spoiling a postal vote

Voters who have already cast their ballot can no longer change their vote. However, voters have the option of using their mail-in ballots that they have not cast at their polling station. Bring your ballot with you when you go to the polls and let poll workers know that you want to spoil the ballot and vote in person.

Voters who have not cast their mail-in ballot but are unable to return it must sign a statement certifying that the ballot was lost or destroyed.
