If other folks have experiences handing their ballot in at their town hall or municipal building, I'd be curious to hear your stories as well.

Now get out there and vote!

[Steve Van Doorn]

I’m in LA California. I heard from a neighbor that some people have got the ballot many have not including myself. They said it supposed to be here on the 3rd.

I’m in California, and I will go to a polling place, “surrender” my ballot, and vote in person. But I have to wait til the polls open on Halloween!! Can you believe it? Halloween!

The OFFICIAL SITE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY says you can

bring your ballot to your polling place by 8:00 p.m. on election day, November 3. Remember only you, the voter, can bring your ballot to your polling place on election day.

Our county has about 8 secured drop box locations and one inside the front door of the elections office. No interaction with anyone. Easy.

Some in the media have been trying to make a big deal out of the fact that early mail-in vote totals in some states so far are showing democrats with a huge lead in the number of votes cast. Aside from the fact that dems always tend to vote early in higher numbers than Republicans, I strongly suspect that none of us trust mail-in voting, and are therefore either voting in person if it is allowed, or are waiting to return our ballots until closer to Election Day to minimize the time that the dems have to either “lose” our ballots, or to use them as intelligence to figure out how many fraudulent votes they need to manufacture.

In Colorado our elections have unfortunately been entirely vote by mail for a number of years now (“coincidentally” coinciding with when Colorado suddenly went deep blue). So, I hold our ballots until close to or on Election Day, and then I hand deliver them to the drop boxes at our polling place.

Thanks for the info.

Sure ain’t the same New Jersey I left eighteen years ago.

I don’t like any ballots that require me to sign anything that means some bureaucrat will be comparing my signature to an old signature of mine. Comparing signatures is very subjective and they might toss my ballot.

I will surrender my mailed ballot to my polling place and vote there without needing to sign a ballot.

Voting in person here in Ohio, on election day.

Voting in person in rural southern Wisconsin on election day. There are many Trump signs in yards here. I am hopeful Wisconsin will be won by Trump for the second time. The 2016 win was miraculous, glorious and unexpected. 🇺🇸

[Alberta's Child]

I have moved since last Election Day. That means the state sent a ballot to my old address.

I wonder who someone else decides I’m voting for.

[Flick Lives]

Interestingly, once I arrived at the window, I had to show ID. The clerk checked the ID against the name on the ballot to make sure they matched as you are not supposed to submit anyone else’s ballot.

That’s encouraging to hear. It sounds like ballot harvesting would be prevented.

Don’t vote by mail in Virginia:

RICHMOND, VA – This morning, the Department of Elections was made aware that six outdoor mail collection boxes were broken into sometime between Saturday afternoon and this morning. At this time, the United States Postal Service is investigating. Neither the Department nor USPS has any information about whether any election mail was contained in the boxes.

We voted yesterday -
We went to the county building where the election office is to hand deliver the ballots, since we had no choice but to ‘vote by mail in NJ! We asked a police officer as we walked through the courtyard towards the building entrance, and was told ‘Building is closed. No hand delivery. Drop in the ballot drop box.’

My other half, believing what he heard, obediently dropped it off at the drop box outside the building. I decided to hold on to my ballot and headed to the entrance. I asked the police/guard there if there really is no way to deliver it in person. He said ‘Yes’ and told me to go to the officer at the station slightly ahead of him. I went there. The lady official checked my id/signature, made me sign the book (including the time of the day). After she signed it, she told me my ‘number’, and showed me when she placed my ballot in the ‘box’.

So it is safely placed in the box,
whether they count it as I voted - that would be a different story here in NJ !

[mware]

Doing the same thing. Just filled out my ballot and will be taking it to MaysLanding sometime this week. Really upsets me that all registered voters were sent ballots unsolicited.

Top that off with someone from the postal service in NJ being charged with throwing away ballots in a dumpster, well it isn't good.

In case you are not familiar with the above, it was the character Paulie the Jersey Guy played by Joe Piscopo on SNL.

I intend to vote in person in the early voting period. Seems
to be pretty much the normal process.

[JimRed]

Actually, the polls ARE open on election day. I know first hand, because I’ll be working it. You can bring your mail-in ballot to your designated polling place if you have not mailed it or used a county drop-box already.

Voting machine use is reserved for certain disabled folks (the blind, I think; our training class is tomorrow). If you don’t have your mail-in ballot you can vote a provisional paper ballot at the polling place.

New Jersey Ping. Is there still a NJ ping list?
