Vote Early

Early Voting Instructions

WHERE?
The Clerk of the County Commission (County Clerk) holds the responsibility for absentee voting. The location will be in the County Courthouse, annex, or on the property of the courthouse.

WHEN?
See the Elections Calendar for specific dates and Early Voting Hours by County.
The regular period of early voting in person begins twenty days before the election and continues until three days before the election. Voting is available during regular business hours, plus, it may be available two Saturdays before the election. Check with the appropriate office for more information.

HOW?
Go to the County Clerk's Office and ask to vote early in-person. You will then vote as you would on election day, in a voting booth just as at the precinct. If a paper ballot is used, your voted ballot will be sealed in an envelope and placed in the ballot box.

On election day, your ballot will go to the precinct where it will be counted or placed with other ballots for computer tabulation.

WHEN?

The most important date to remember is the deadline! Your application to vote by mail must be received no later than the 6th day before the election. You may apply as early as eighty-four days before the election (or January 2 for military or overseas voters), but the ballots are not ready for mailing to you until six weeks before the election. Unless you are voting absentee by mail because of illness or disability, the ballot must be mailed to an out-of-county address.
