Residents have multiple options for casting their ballots in the June 2023 Primary Election. They include mailing ballots through the United States Postal Service (USPS); dropping a ballot in any secure drop box across the County; three days of in-person early voting at any early vote locations in the County; or voting in person on Primary Election Day, June 6
