1. If you have applied to vote absentee, follow these instructions.
   URGENT: Courts have ruled that mailed ballots must arrive at the county election office/Secretary of State's office by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. Ballots mailed today or later may not arrive in time to be counted.
