2. Have A Voter Registration Form Mailed to You
   

   Click here (ENGLISH | ESPAŅOL) to fill out a voter registration form that will be mailed to you for your signature. Because state law requires you to provide a valid signature on a voter registration card, you will not be registered to vote until your county elections office receives a signed copy of this form.

   It will be approximately 7 to 14 days before you receive this form. Because all voter registration forms must be postmarked (or hand delivered to the appropriate county elections office) 15 days before an election, you should not exercise this option fewer than 30 days before an election.

3. Pick Up A Voter Registration Form
   

   You can pick up a voter registration form at your county elections office, library, or U.S. Post Office. It is important that your voter registration form be filled out completely and be postmarked or hand-delivered to your county elections office at least 15 days before the election.

Overseas Voter Registration and Voting By Mail

If you are a U.S. citizen and are going to be overseas, or if you are in the military and wish to vote by mail, there are special provisions for you to register and receive an overseas ballot (referred to as a absentee ballot under federal law). To do this you may need to complete a "Federal Post Card Registration and Absentee Ballot Request," and mail it to your local county elections official.

Voting Assistance Guide

Many times, overseas military voters, their overseas spouses and dependents, and other registered voters living abroad have a difficult time obtaining, voting, and returning their ballots by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Under the law, a request for a vote-by-mail ballot from an overseas voter will register that voter as a permanent vote-by-mail voter.
