I’m excited because my absentee ballot arrived today so I can fill it out and bring it to the Elections Office before I have to go out of town for my surgery.

We usually vote in person, so it’s been ages since a ballot arrived in the mail for me. NYS was supposed to have started mailing ballots a couple of weeks ago and we were starting to worry that our applications had gotten skipped somehow.

So glad you’re able to get this sorted before focusing on your surgery. It’s so stressful waiting for the ballot to arrive!

And mail delivery has gotten so slow, even locally. That’s why we want to drop off the ballots in person, even though we are far out from election day.

It’s for the best. My daughter voted absentee her first year in college. Took forever to get the ballot to her state then forever for her to jump through the hoops to complete it there. In the end I had her mail it back to me and I walked it into the Board of Elections.

We were able to drop off our ballots today. They verified our signatures while we were still there. We asked when they would be tallied and it will be on election day, so they will be in the tally announced after the polls close. Yay!
