1 | ***IMPORTANT DETAILS: If you are abroad, consider the mailing deadlines to be AT LEAST two weeks earlier than what is written here. Not all postal services are expedient, and you should always email/call your city clerk or county clerk before you leave (or get a family member to do it if you've already left) if you aren't sure on your own deadline. Obviously, if you're registering through an online system, the deadline is fine, but all mailing requirements should be taken into account (aka, basically all absentee requests/submissions). In many situations, you can also authorize a family member/trusted friend to submit your ballot for you. Just check with your clerk. Also, to use any online voter reg systems, you must have a state ID in that state. When mailing an absentee ballot, send it to your town/county clerk, NOT the Secretary of State in your state.
