Worried About Mail Delays? Here are 4 Ways to Cast Your Ballot Without USPS

Voters concerned about the current crisis facing the USPS and what it could mean for their ballot arriving by Election Day have several options:

1. Vote early in person. Early voting allows voters to vote in person without waiting in crowded or long lines. Forty-one states have some form of early voting in place and may start as early as 45 days before Election Day. Many states also have weekend early voting options. Make sure to check with your local election office to see if they extended early voting due to the pandemic.

2. Use a ballot drop box. Many states and counties provide ballot drop boxes as a secure and convenient option for voters to return their sealed and signed mail ballot. Drop boxes skip the mail process entirely, allowing voters to drop off their mail ballots and have them be taken directly to county offices. Boxes are placed in many convenient locations such as outside community centers, near public transit routes or on college campuses. Check with your local election office to see if there are ballot drop boxes in your community.

3. Drop off your ballot at an election office or polling location. Almost all states permit voters to return a delivered ballot in person at their local election office, but not everyone lives close to their election office. That is why many states allow voters to drop off their signed and sealed ballots at any in-person voting location in the county. Check with your local election office to see if you can drop off your ballot at a polling location closer to your home.

4. Organize community ballot collection. Many states allow designated organizations, election officials or family members to collect a voter’s signed and sealed ballot and submit the ballot on behalf of the voter. This option is vital for high-risk voters who are unable to leave their home to cast a ballot. Check who can collect your ballot in your state.

Sure tbh Trump is winning my state but I'm not taking unnecessary risk with Rona out here.

Why are some of these states mailing out ballots unrequested by the voter? I guess I get it if the whole state is vote by mail and the participation is high but if not I feel like any reason absentee voting is the way to go.

For example they sent a application for my primary ballot to my parents PO Box. I haven't used that to get any mail in over a decade. I'm registered to vote at my residence but they're sending that stuff elsewhere.

You shouldn't be mailing your ballot. Just drop it off at the drop box for them or take it to the clerk's office and drop it off.

was it a ballot or an application for a ballot....? if it's an application, they have to verify the application before they send the actual ballot, so it doesn't really matter who or where they send the application....

In my case it was an application but some states are simply mailing ballots to all "active" voters. They're saying in Clark county in Nevada that over 200K actual ballots were mailed out and came back return to sender because the addresses were undeliverable.
