Voters can now apply for, fill out, and return mail ballots at any Satellite Election Office citywide, or use one of 33 secure drop boxes for the May 19 Primary.
Satellite Election Offices are open in every Council District, offering year-round voter services. Mail ballot applications are available online, by mail, or as paper forms, with a May 12 application deadline.
The deadline to register to vote is May 4, and all mail ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Officials encourage voters to review all races and return ballots promptly.
