While the Department of State strongly encourages voters to wear masks, voters who are not wearing masks will not be denied the opportunity to vote. The department also asks voters to practice social distancing at the polls for everyone’s safety and wellbeing.

Mail-in Ballots

The state Supreme Court has told election officials to count ballots they receive up until Nov. 6, as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3.

However, state officials have urged voters to hand-deliver ballots to ensure they are counted.

Hand-delivered mail-in ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
