I received an absentee ballot which did not meet the legal requirements for absentee voting. It was just the same ballot used for voting in person. No place for required ID info, signature of voter or signature/ID info for the required witness.
I was appalled by this. Now more than ever absentee ballots are being used by many who previously voted in person. Have an email into my local State Representative for her guidance.
Need to admit, that I am in the minority with my voting preferences where I live. My ability to vote was often questioned in the past. This required me to stay at the polling place for sometimes over an hour, waiting for my credentials to be verified. Am hoping I was not sent what would be considered an illegal ballot because of this.
I am a firm believer in voting in every election, even when there is just a referendum or primary for local offices.
If you have an absentee ballot, please make sure it meets legal requirements. Otherwise your vote will not be counted.
