In prior elections, our Election Protection team has heard from people in various counties that they requested an advanced mail-in ballot, but never received it. This is typically either because it was lost in the mail, or because they requested a ballot for a political party, and their voter registration does not match that political party (they are either unaffiliated, or they are registered with another political party).
Here are steps you can take to ensure you can still cast your ballot and make your voice heard.
1. Check the status of your registration and your advanced mail ballot at
https://myvoteinfo.voteks.org/VoterView. You will need to enter your name and birthdate, then enter your birthdate again. The status of your advanced mail ballot will be at the top of the page.
2. If your advanced mail ballot was never sent: you can still vote in person during early voting, or on Election Day.
3. If your advanced mail ballot was sent, but you did not receive it: contact your local election official. You may be able to get a replacement ballot. You can also vote provisionally, in person, during early voting or on Election Day.
If your application for an advanced mail ballot was rejected, you still have a right to vote.
If it was accepted, elections officials should have mailed you an advanced ballot as requested, but for various reasons, advanced mail ballots may be mailed late or not received in time. If you receive your ballot in the mail on or before Election Day, you can fill it out and take it to a polling place or a drop box.
If you are still able to vote in person, either during early voting hours or on Election Day, we suggest you do so. If you have not received your advanced mail ballot by the Monday preceding the election (either the primary election or the general election), and you are unable to vote in person, please contact your election official.
Remember: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
