FAQs
Q: What is a "naked" ballot?
A: A "naked" ballot is one where the ballot was not sealed in the secrecy envelope AND placed in the return envelope before being returned by drop box or mail. Naked ballots will be rejected by the county board of elections! Ballots must be placed in the secrecy envelope, and the secrecy envelop must then be placed in the return envelope. The return envelope must be signed by the voter in the designated area.
Q: What if I applied for a ballot and did not receive it?
A: You can go to one of the voter services offices through Oct. 26 and they can cancel your old ballot, supply you with a new ballot that you can immediately fill out and return it at that site. If you cannot use this option, file a provisional ballot at your polling place on Election Day. Conversely, if you lost your mail-in ballot, you may file a provisional ballot at the polls.
Q: I received a mail-in ballot, but now I want to vote in person. What do I do?
A: DO NOT return your mail-in ballot by mail or drop box! Keep your ballot and all of its envelopes and bring that with you to your polling place on Election Day. A poll worker will void your mail-in ballot and you may then cast your vote at the poll. If you lost your mail-in ballot, you may file a provisional ballot at the polls.
