Hi —

The best way we can make our voices heard this election is by getting our votes in early — and you’ve got several options to do that. Scroll down for step-by-step instructions!

If you’re filling out a mail-in ballot, here’s how to do it correctly:

• Read the enclosed instructions carefully on how to mark your ballot and be sure to complete the front and back of each page. Make sure to vote in every race and/or question on the ballot. To learn more about the questions, visit the Progressive Voters Guide.
• Put your ballot into the smaller secrecy envelope that only says “Official Election Ballot” and seal it. Do not place any marks on this secrecy envelope. Your ballot must be enclosed in the smaller secrecy envelope in order to be counted. 
• Put the smaller secrecy envelope into the larger pre-addressed outer return envelope and seal it. This is the envelope with “Business Reply Mail” on the front.
• Complete, sign, and date the voter’s declaration on the outside of the outer return envelope. You must sign the outer return envelope and enclose your ballot in it in order for it to be counted.

Once you complete your ballot, return it right away. There are a number of ways you can do this:

• By mail. You should do this no later than this week to make sure your ballot is received and counted on May 18. Make sure you use the proper postage, if needed.
• In person. 
  • Take it directly to your County Board of Elections or a satellite voting location. 
  • Drop it into a secure ballot drop box in your county. 

After you return your ballot, you can track its status here.

If you haven’t applied for a mail-in ballot, we encourage you to vote early at your county election office or a satellite location, which you can find here. Here’s how it works:

• Submit a completed mail-in or absentee ballot application when you arrive.
• Wait for your application to be processed.
• Once you receive your ballot, mark, seal, sign, and date just like the instructions require you to do for mailing in your ballot. Remember, if your ballot is not enclosed in the smaller secrecy envelope and outer return envelope, it will not be counted.
• Hand in your ballot.

Remember that your vote is your voice. Don’t wait to use your power — vote early!

Thank you for being a conservation voter.
