Can you vote early in your state?

Sometimes circumstances make it hard or impossible for you to vote on Election Day. But most states let you vote in person during a designated early voting period.

Use this map to see if your state allows early voting in person.

• In most states, you do not need an excuse to vote early.
• In some states, you may need to request an absentee ballot to be able to vote early.

Where and when is early voting

Check with your state or local election office to find out:

• When and where to vote early
• Specific rules in your area

Depending on your state, you may need to check under "absentee voting" if you do not see information listed for early voting.
