Choose the voting method that works for you. Deadlines depend on that method. Check the time and delivery requirements, not just the date. Military, overseas, and emergency voting may have separate rules.

Register
Register online, by mail, or through an authorized registration office by October 5. Check your registration and address with your county supervisor. Registration updates and new registrations can have different requirements.
In-person registration deadline
Register by October 5 for the general election. Use the official instructions for submitting your application.
Registered voters may request a vote-by-mail ballot without an excuse. Request directly from your county supervisor and follow identity and signature instructions. Check that your request is current; ordinary domestic ballots must arrive by Election Day.
Domestic mail-ballot distribution window begins
For requests already on file, counties send domestic ballots September 24–October 1. This is a mailing window, not a guaranteed arrival date.
Request a ballot to be mailed by 5 p.m. local time October 22. Later pickup during mandatory early voting or on Election Day requires an emergency affidavit.
Your supervisor must receive the voted ballot by 7 p.m. local time November 3, regardless of postmark. Overseas voters have a separate general-election extension.
November 3, 2026. Poll hours: 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. local time (Eastern or Central, depending on county). Check your official ballot, voting location, and identification requirements before you go.
Date labels compare calendar dates in Eastern time; “Today” does not mean the cutoff time has not passed. Confirm local times with your election office.
