Here's how to track your absentee ballot.
Spoiling an absentee ballot
Voters who have already submitted their ballot cannot change their vote. However, voters have the option to spoil their unsubmitted absentee ballots at their polling place. Bring your ballot with you when you go to vote and let the poll workers know that you would like to spoil the ballot and vote in person.
Voters who have not submitted their absentee ballot but do not have it to return will be required to sign a statement confirming that the ballot was lost or destroyed.
