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.
01
Register
Register online, by mail, or at a Department of Elections office. The October 10 Saturday deadline does not shift to Monday. Military and overseas registration has separate rules.
In-person registration deadline
Department offices are open 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. October 10 for registration. This Saturday deadline does not move to Monday.
Absentee voting requires a qualifying reason. Use the official eligibility guidance and application rather than assuming no-excuse mail voting. Eligible voters may apply online or submit the absentee statement to their county Department of Elections.
Request deadline for a mailed absentee ballot
October 30 is the last day to request a ballot for delivery by mail. Request earlier to allow return delivery time.
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.
