As we look ahead to the 2026 election cycle, our office remains committed to ensuring every voter is informed, prepared, and confident when it is time to cast a ballot. Being “voter ready” means taking a few simple but important steps now to ensure a smooth and seamless voting experience.

Where Do I Vote?

CLICK HERE TO VOTE BY MAIL

If you have not done so yet, you can request your vote-by-mail ballot by calling our office or visiting our website. We send vote by mail, by law, between 40 and 33 days before each election which means we will start mailing July 9^th for the primary and September 24^th for the general election.

Where will you be?

Make sure to give the address where you will be at that time of mailing as mail ballots are non-forwardable. The deadline for requesting a vote-by-mail ballot is 12 days before each election.
