Any registered DuPage County voter can vote by mail. No reason is needed.

Request your ballot

Apply online at the DuPage County Clerk's Vote by Mail page. You can also download a paper application or call the Election Division at 630-407-5600 (Spanish: 630-407-5608) and they'll mail you one. Applications sent by mail must be received by Thursday, October 29. You can apply in person through Monday, November 2. Want a ballot mailed to you every election? Sign up for the Permanent Vote by Mail Program.

Return your ballot

By mail: your ballot must be postmarked by Tuesday, November 3. Ballots that arrive up to 14 days later still count. If you're mailing close to Election Day, take it to a post office counter and ask for a hand-stamped postmark.

By drop box: no postage needed, open until polls close on Election Day. Find locations on the DuPage County Clerk's Vote by Mail page. We'll post District 1 drop boxes here as soon as the county releases them.

Track your ballot to see when it's mailed and when it's received.

Changed your mind? Bring your mail ballot to any early voting site or your polling place, and you can vote in person instead.

In the hospital or a nursing home? If you're admitted within 14 days of the election, a relative can pick up a ballot for you. See the county's instructions.
