Tips for Marking a Mail-In Ballot

If you need help reading, marking, or mailing the actual ballot, ask a trusted relative or friend for help. It’s not uncommon for someone from a political organization to offer to help with your ballot soon after you’ve received it. The Secretary of State's Office recommends you decline this kind of help for several reasons. If you allow your ballot to be mailed by someone you don’t know, it might not be mailed at all. If it’s delivered to the elections office by a common or contract carrier from the address of a candidate or a campaign’s headquarters, your ballot will be rejected.

Please note: Applications for Ballot by Mail are only available from the Elections Administrator by specific request. Political parties may legally send them out without a request.
