• 1). Obtain a vote-by-mail application. You can use the application sent with a sample ballot prior to Election Day or a copy of the application can also be found online.
  If you are without a printer and do not want to wait to receive your sample ballot, you can request a copy from your county election official.A list of county election offices also is available online.
  
  
• 2). Fill out application. Provide the address on your voter registration card as well as a current address for where to send the vote-by-mail ballot. Indicate the election date for which you are requesting a ballot or indicate that you opt for permanent vote-by-mail. Sign and date the application and then return it by mail to your county election official. The ballot is sent upon receipt of the completed application form.
  
  
• 3). Complete vote-by-mail ballot and seal in its envelope. Confirm all of the information is filled in on the envelope. Mail the envelope back to your county election official, ensuring it arrives before Election Day, or bring it to your polling location on the day of the election. You can also designate someone--either a relative or a person living in your household--to return the ballot, if you are unable.
  
  
• 4). The envelope is opened, and your ballot is counted after the county official verifies the signature on the ballot with the signature on file.
