Vote by Mail Updates
Mail in Early!
The post office is recommending earlier 'mailing' dates deadlines than are posted on official sites if voters are using USPS.
Example:
Mail in ballot by October 19, 2020 if using USPS instead of the October 27, 2020 deadline posted on votespa.com.
Deadline Extended & Drop Boxes Allowed
Mail-in ballots will be accepted if they are received by 5 p.m. on the Friday after the election and were either postmarked by Nov. 3 or there is no evidence to suggest they were sent after Election Day. Previously, mail-in ballots had to be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Counties may use drop boxes for voters casting mail-in ballots.
