Limited ballots are available to voters who are not yet registered in their new county, but would still be eligible in their former county.<\/p>\n

New county, no problem.<\/p>\n

Eligible voters who just moved and are not yet registered to vote in their new county can cast what\u2019s known as a limited ballot during early voting for the March 3 primary elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With these ballots, voters are able to cast their vote in statewide races and district offices that cross over with their current and former county.<\/p>\n

The ballots are only available during early voting and must be cast in person at the main early voting location or by mail. They are not available on election day.<\/p>\n

Early voting for the 2026 primary elections end Friday.<\/p>\n
