This article lists each state's absentee/mail-in voting deadlines for the November 3, 2020, general election.[1] For additional information about absentee/mail-in voting, see this article.

How to use this interactive table: The table comprises four columns:

  • State
  • In-person return deadline (the last day on which a voter can return a completed absentee/mail-in ballot in person, if applicable)
  • Mail return deadline (the last day on which a voter can return a completed absentee/mail-in ballot by mail)
  • Mail postmark or receipt deadline (whether the mail return deadline is a postmark or receipt deadline)

Each of the four columns can be sorted alphabetically or chronologically. To sort a column, click the column heading. To search for a state, enter the state name in the search bar above the upper right-hand corner of the table.

By default, the table displays 10 states at a time. To see additional states on subsequent pages, use the navigation prompts under the bottom right-hand corner of the table. To change the number of states displayed on a single page, use the drop-down menu above the upper left-hand corner of the table.
