State election serviceGet your mail ballot
Complete an absentee application, print and sign it if using the online form, and return it to your county auditor with the required ID information. A mailed application is not a ballot.
Official mail-ballot instructionsConfirm your ballot was received
Check your ballot status through the official service. If it is missing, rejected or needs correction, contact your local election office promptly.
Ballot trackingComplete the ballot and return envelope exactly as instructed, including any signature, ID, witness or notary requirements. Check the official request and return deadlines; a mailing date is not always enough.
