(20,795 posts)7. Can you deliver your ballots to your City/County Government Center?
When we voted in 2020, my husband dropped off our ballots to our County Government Center.
Minnesota has early in person voting at a designated polling place 6 weeks prior to the General Election up to the day before. Voting that way makes sure our vote is secured and safely paced.

That is absolutely horrifying. Cutting you off at the ballot box??? No way.

Yeah, our p.o. just has one big, giant dropbox plus a second, smaller one for "express mail."

if you vote by mail, make sure your ballot can withstand the most critical scrutiny, and deliver it to the Post Office.

Clearly we can't rely on mailing in ballots, but will we even receive them in time?
