Vote from military or abroad 

Military and voters living abroad can use a special process to vote absentee.

Mail ballot precincts

Some cities and towns can hold elections by mail instead of voting at polling places.

Have an agent pick up your ballot (agent delivery)

In special situations, you may ask an agent to pick up and return an absentee ballot for you. This is called ‘agent delivery.’ Learn more about agent delivery.

Voters with print disabilities may request an accessible absentee ballot.

• persons who are blind or visually impaired;
• those with learning disabilities; 
• those with a physical disability that interferes with holding and manipulating paper or a pen/pencil.

If you do not have a disability, you are not eligible to receive an accessible ballot.
