Early Voting Dates
EARLY VOTING (EV): Early voting usually refers to voting that takes place at specially designated early voting sites inside a voting booth.
IN-PERSON ABSENTEE VOTING (IPA): In-person absentee voting usually refers to going through the absentee balloting process in-person at a local election office. While these two terms are often used interchangeably to refer to any voting done in-person before election day – most states only use one or the other.
Notes:
(1) – All mail election. This state conducts elections entirely by mail. All registered voters should automatically receive a mail-in ballot.
