Decide when and how

Review early voting, in-person voting, absentee/mail requirements, and the precise return deadlines.

Confirm everything

Check your registration status, voting location, and absentee ballot tracking when offered.

State and territory voting rules change. Do not rely on a general national deadline for local elections. Certain territories have different eligibility for federal elections than states; official local rules govern.
