ATTENTION CLAY COUNTY VOTERS

You might have received a 'Request a By-Mail Early Voting Ballot' application in the mail recently. This form is NOT from our office! It appears to be distributed by Center for Voter Information which is not affiliated with the Clay County Election Office.

Since Clay County is a 'By-Mail' county for voting, you do not need to complete this form to get your ballot.

Our office will mail ballots for the November 3, 2026 General Election on or around October 13, 2026 to all active registered voters with a confirmed mailing address.

If you have questions regarding your voter registration or how by-mail voting works, please call our office at 402-762-3463.
