You can register to vote in less than 10 minutes, online at this link.
Vote from Home by Mail-in Ballot
Drop your completed mail-in ballot off at your County Board of Elections Office as soon as possible, and no later than November 5 at 8 p.m. If you are putting your ballot in the mail, be sure to mail it no later than October 29th, since all ballots must arrive by November 5th in order to be counted.
When you’re ready to vote, complete your ballot completely in black or blue ink. Place your ballot in the secrecy envelope marked “official election ballot” and then put the sealed secrecy envelope into the official return envelope. Be sure to sign the return envelope, or your ballot may not count.

Early Vote in Person
If you have not yet applied for a vote by mail or absentee ballot, you also have the option to early vote in person. Voting early in person at your county board of elections means you don’t have to wait for your ballot to arrive and don’t have to worry about waiting in line on Election Day. You can vote early in person in three easy steps:
Go to your local county board of elections office. You can find the addresses below.
Go to the clerk and ask for a mail in ballot application, which you can fill out and hand right back to the clerk without it ever going through the mail.
In order for your vote to count, you must complete the ballot in black or blue ink. Place your completed ballot in the yellow envelope that says “Official Election Ballot” and seal it. Do not put any markings on the yellow envelope. Place the yellow envelope in the return envelope and seal it. Sign your name in the appropriate box and write the full month and day.
Hand your completed ballot and envelope back to the clerk.
That’s it! You have now voted early!
