Remember to sign and date your ballot return envelope. You must sign the envelope for your vote to count.
Voters who return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service can track it by signing up for “Where’s My Ballot?”.
If you want to vote in person and avoid long lines, seven vote centers will also offer early voting starting on Saturday, Aug. 5. The vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the final day of voting on Tuesday, Aug. 15, when 14 vote centers will open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
If no candidate receives a majority vote at the Aug. 15 election, then a special general election will be held on Nov. 7.
