Has anyone voted by mail already?

I think I got the thing in the mail yesterday for voting through the mail. I thought about doing that so I don't have to take Kavi to the polls with me. But I haven't decided for sure. Guess I better soon!

Certain Mods have OCD when it comes to seeing a poll in the OT / P&R sections

I have no idea. I registered for a mail in ballot for the Presidential election in 2008 and NJ law at the time was that going forward I would get a mail in ballot for all general elections going forward, but I vaguely recall that the law may have changed since then but I don't know if it has or not. And I haven't been able to find an easy way through their website to verify whether I am still getting a ballot mailed to me or not.

If I don't get a ballot in the mail, I will go vote in person. I am male USC and registered D (as of the 2008 primaries). I am voting most likely mail because well, I think I will get one.

no. i don't trust it. how do you know if your vote has been counted?

i think if you haven't voted by mail in 2 consecutive Statewide general elections you are taken off the mail in voter list and have to reapply for it..

In NJ, you can view your voting history online. If you sent in a ballot in 2008 for the Presidential election, the online history record will tell you whether you voted or not.

Of course, whether your ballot was counted correctly is a different matter altogether.

I gots my ballot, but I am still waiting for my voter pamphlet.

I have always found those pamphlets to be useless. But I've only ever been registered to vote in Jersey, nowhere else. What do Cali pamphlets have that you find useful?

Depends where you live: If you live here, they will fill it out for you, if you don't do it yourself. We also have perpetual voting, if you are a registered Democrat, even in the afterlife.

But that has been true for the entire time elections have existed using paper ballots.

The full text of the measure, the legislative analysis, and pro, con, and rebuttal arguments. They also include the various party platforms, and the statements of the candidates.
