To request an absentee ballot, complete the form online at www.dcboee.org and then print, sign and mail it to the BOEE or send a letter to the Board at 441 – 4th Street, NW, Suite 250 North, Washington, D.C.  20001.  You may also send a letter that includes the following information:

  • Your name, and date of birth;
  • Your residence address and any change of address;
  • The address where your ballot is to be mailed (if different from your residence address);
  • Your date of birth; and
