When to Expect Your Sample Ballot

All active registered voters eligible to vote in a specific election are sent a sample ballot for every election before early voting begins. Sample ballots are NON-FORWARDABLE. If you move and do not notify the Election Department in writing of your new address by the registration deadline, you will not receive a sample ballot.
