Important Information Regarding the Primary Election The DC Board of Elections will mail each registered DC voter a mail-in ballot ahead of the June 21 primary election. To ensure that you receive your mail-in ballot at the correct address, check and update (if necessary) your voter registration. Mail ballot drop-boxes will be distributed to 55 locations throughout the District and will be open to voters starting in late May. Once mail ballot drop-boxes open, voters will be able to return their voted mail-in ballots to any drop-box location until 8 p.m. on June 21. Voters may also cast their vote by returning their voted mail-in ballot via USPS, or in person, at any Vote Center during the early voting period or on Election Day. All registered DC voters will receive a mail-in ballot and do not need to request an absentee ballot unless they will be absent from home during the election.
