I voted

[Master Mason]

I got my ballot in the mail last night so this morning I filled it out and will put it in the mail this afternoon

Who ever your supporting, please take the time to do the same.

I was thinking about requesting an absentee ballot. I just had a baby and i don't want to stand in lines all day with a baby only a few weeks old. I wonder if Maternity leave is an excuse to vote like that.

I'm not gonna do it, you can't make me...

I don't think that maternity leave would be a problem in getting an absentee ballot. However it may be too late to get an absentee ballot sent. Contact your local County Clerk's office to inquire about absentee voting. They may also have early voting polls set up so that you can vote prior to the election date and avoid lines.

You're not the boss of me!

Just kidding, how can you vote through the mail? Is it only for absentee voters? I'd like to avoid the long lines too.

I found this:

I wouldn't want to stand in line like that, either. It's nice that Ohio now gives absentee ballots to anyone who requests one.

Congrats djm99!

I believe that you can do an absentee ballot if you are not able to make it to the polls at all. Like my grandmother, she really can't make it there so she has an absentee. You should look into it so at least its done and you dont' have to worry about it.

Good Luck with the new little one!

There's a long list of reasons you can request an absentee vote , none fall into the category of "cause you don't want to stand in a long line"

In CA you can actually request to be a perminate absentee voter, I just get my ballot in the mail at each election. It works great, and you don't have to give any reason other than that's how you want to do it.

I am ferrying over to St. Thomas tomorrow to have my ballot notarized, and then I'm fedexing it.

I love Oregon's vote by mail! I've never gone to a voting booth; they don't even have them anymore. I think the only way you can vote in person is if your ballot was lost or you forgot to change your address and you go to the elections office. Our ballots get mailed out Oct 17, I think.

I'm absentee voting as well.

One nice thing about NE is that we can go vote at the courthouse anytime now. Or we can request an absentee ballot without giving any reason. I so do not want to wait in line! I need to go vote. But first I need to make up my mind!

You don't need to give a reason for an absentee ballot in NJ. I mailed mine on Tuesday.
