I would encourage them not to wait to request or to return the ballot because, as we mentioned earlier, now I know a lot of people are going to wait until early voting sites and deposit them at the early voting sites. Voting early in personEarly voting for the Primary runs Saturday, August 8, 2026 through Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Any registered Marion County voter can vote at any open early voting location. The bottom line for Marion County voters is that the rules for requesting and returning mail ballots, early voting and showing photo ID remain the same as in previous years.
