Virginia Early Voting

If you are like me and Robin, our "Voting Plan" was developed such that we don't have to physically show up to our polling place in November.  Long lines and possible exposure just made that seem like something to be avoided.  

So we voted absentee...but if you do that, make sure your vote has been received.  Most states have tracking information. For instance, in Virginia, you can check the status of your absentee ballot at this link.

Robin dropped her ballot off by hand when she had to do an errand "in town." But they wouldn't let her deposit mine, so she stuck it in the mailbox instead. 






Robin's got in a few days sooner:







But at least we know that both of them are safe and sound. We even put on our stickers, even though only each of us are the only ones seeing them ;-)

Michelle My husband and I just received our absentee ballots, and we're in Virginia as well- Virginia Beach.

Ssawyer Utah ballots will be sent out next week. Utah has been primarily vote by mail (or drop-off site) for several years. We can also track our ballots online. It works well for us.

Nice! I found it a good alternative.

Yeah, I'm envious of the approach you and a few other states have implemented. I think many more will be going that route in the future.
