[Lincolnparkdc] Wow. The mail is messed up.

Sun Sep 27 15:16:30 EDT 2020

Neighbors -- At https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/How-to-Vote/Voter-Assistance,
the DC Board of Elections (DCBOE) indicates "[a]ll active registered voters
will receive a mail-in-ballot at their registered address beginning the
first week in October." Please note, at https://dcboe.org, the DCBOE
states: "The Board of Elections is committed to providing a safe
environment where every vote is counted. Voting by mail is strongly
encouraged to protect the public and election workers. Voting by mail is
safe, secure and simple."

DCBOE has a search tool that displays the closest Mail-In Ballot Drop
Boxes, Early Vote Centers, and Election Day Vote Centers to your location
-- https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Where-to-Vote/Find-Out-Where-to-Vote.("You
may vote at ANY location!" and "For the November 3, 2020 General Election,
you DO NOT have to vote at your assigned polling place. Early Vote Centers
will be open on Election Day.")

   - All Mail-In Ballot Drop Box locations are listed here --
   https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Where-to-Vote/Mail-Ballot-Drop-Sites.("You
   may drop off your voted mail-in-ballot in ANY Ballot Drop Box at ANY time,
   before 8:00 pm on Election Day, November 3, 2020.")
   - All Early Vote Center locations are listed here --
   https://earlyvoting.dcboe.org. ("Vote Centers for the November 3 General
   Election will open Tuesday, October 27, 2020, through Monday, November 2,
   2020, from 8:30 am - 7:00 pm. On November 3, 2020 (Election Day), Vote
   Centers will open from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm.")
   - All Election Day Vote Center locations are listed here --
   https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Where-to-Vote/Election-Day-Vote-Centers.
   ("Election Day Vote Centers for the November 3 General Election will open
   Tuesday, November 3, 2020 (Election Day), from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm.")

DCBOE also has a mail-in ballot tracking system that you may want to check
out -- https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Absentee-Voting/Track-Absentee-Ballot.
The tracking system provides information regarding the status of your
ballot, including when it was issued and returned.
