Accessing Your Ballot

A voters guide on notices and voting credentials
Whether you have voted with ElectionBuddy before, or are voting for the first time, the process is quick and easy! You should have received a notice to vote from ElectionBuddy by Email, SMS (text), Printed, or Postal Mail. Alternatively, your administrator may have emailed, mailed, printed, or hand-delivered a notice to you.
If the vote has started and you haven't received a notice, please check your email junk or spam folder for emails from invitations@mail.electionbuddy.com. If you are still unable to locate your Notice or Access Key, please contact your administrator. If you don't know who your administrator is, please reach out to ElectionBuddy and we can try to assist.
