Important: A completed absentee ballot must be turned in no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3. Also note that ballot boxes will close at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

NOTE: Absentee ballots must be deposited in ballot boxes before 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

Non-partisan student ‘walking buddies’ are available for early voting through this Friday, Oct. 30. Learn more on Marquette Today.
