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
