Monday

On election day, have your mail ballot filled out and your signature on the envelope.

and drop off the ballot straight into the ballot box.
When I put my ballot in the box, I do not let the poll workers touch by ballot.
They try to take it away and put it in themselves but I always pull the ballot back
and insert it myself.
