Ballots for the 2024 Regular Municipal Election were mailed out on September 12 and have been arriving in people’s mail boxes since Friday, September 13. Voters have many options for returning their mailed ballots between now and Election Day, October 1st, including:

  • Voters may return their ballots by placing them in one of five secure ballot drop boxes (see below for locations); or
  • Voters may return their ballot by mail through the U.S. Postal Service using first class postage; or

We encourage voters who want to vote at a Vote Center to beat the lines on Election Day and go to the Vote Center between now and September 30. Vote Centers will be open during this period prior to and including Election Day for any voters who need assistance or prefer to turn in their ballot in person.
