Your county registrar must receive your ballot by 7 p.m. November 3. After early voting ends, use an allowed return method; early-voting drop boxes are no longer open.
November 3, 2026. Poll hours: 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Eastern time. 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.
