Turn in your ballot on time

Answer
  • Some states require ballots to arrive on election day and others allow it be postmarked on election day

  • Didn’t get it in the mail on time?  Many states have drop off locations on election day or even prior to election day

  • Make sure you have a stamp to return your ballot via mail!

  • What does postmarked mean? 

  • Sometimes states require ballots to arrive a certain number of days after the election, regardless of postmarked day

  • Sometimes the post offices don’t “postmark” an envelope, which could make the ballot invalid if it didn’t arrive by election day
