Mail ballot drop boxes will be distributed to 55 locations throughout the District, and will be open to voters starting in early October. Once mail ballot drop boxes open, voters will be able to return their voted mail-in ballots to any mail ballot drop box location until 8:00 pm on November 5.

Voters may also return their voted mail-in ballot via USPS (must be postmarked by November 5 and received by the Board of Elections no later than November 15), or in person at any Vote Center during the Early Voting period or on Election Day.
