2. Request your absentee ballot

Every state has its own absentee ballot application, rules and procedures.  You'll find forms, deadlines, and easy to follow directions for each state in our Absentee Voter Guides.  

3. Return your ballot by Election Day

Fill out your absentee ballot, sign where indicated, and mail it back to your county election official.  The return address will be on the form.  Just make sure your absentee ballot is received by Election Day.
