APRIL 28, 2026 SPECIAL ELECTION

Registered voters in the Rochester School District will receive ballots for the April 28, 2026 Special Election. Ballots will be mailed to voters by April 10, 2026. Ballots should begin arriving in mailboxes approximately April 13th. There is no need to sign-up or request a mail-in ballot if you are registered to vote. Please contact our office if you will not be able to access your mail during the voting period, need to receive your ballot at a different address, or need to access your ballot electronically.

Ballots must be postmarked by April 28th or returned to one of our ballot drop boxes by 8 p.m. on election night. The USPS recommends mailing ballots at least one week before election day. A stamp is not necessary as all ballot return envelopes include prepaid postage. If you are mailing your ballot on election day, please have the postal clerk stamp the envelope with a round cancellation stamp to avoid a late postmark.
