You will not need a stamp to return your ballot – the envelope will already have postage on it. Make sure your ballot is postmarked on or before April 28, 2020.
If you already asked for an absentee ballot for this election, you may have already received it already. If you have, please follow the instructions you received, vote your ballot, and make sure your ballot is postmarked on or before April 28, 2020. If you have not received it yet, it will be coming soon.
