So it will be fine for me to just wait for my mail-in ballot, since (me being in CA) I can actually drop them off in person? I do plan to do so, as soon early voting is available for me.
Maricopa County (Arizona) early polling and drop box locations

I was going to vote by mail here in SC even before they decided to let anyone who wants to be able to because of the pandemic but once you request a ballot be mailed to you, that's your ballot. From everything I've seen if I apply for a mail-in ballot I can't vote in person if it were to not show up in time. Doesn't sound right to me but I can't find anything that disproves it.
It seems as though because of the pandemic anyone who wants can vote early via in-person absentee voting despite the state not officially having early voting, starting Oct 5th. So I'm gonna go do that the first chance I'm able. I'm a big supporter of vote-by-mail but not with Trump stooges slowing down the mail and causing other USPS fuckery.

Got my absentee ballot in Oklahoma. The state is not requiring a reason to apply for an absentee ballot, and you have until October 27th to request one.
They're allowing us to bypass having to have our ballots notarized by attaching a copy of any ID that would be acceptable at the polls, so no need to interact with anyone. Ballots must be received by your county election officials by 7 PM on election day, so make sure you send them in early.
We may not affect the electoral college, but Kendra Horn's seat is a toss up, and OKC deserves so much better than a Republican rep. Please vote, especially if you're in OK-5.

Yup, you can take your mail in ballot to a polling location and drop it off in CA.
PSA, since today is National Voter Registration Day. As long as you're a US Citizen you can vote in the elections in November, even if you're living abroad right now
I'm living in Canada. Just called my local board of elections to ask if they can confirm they receive my absentee ballot. They confirmed they can! Makes me feel much better about mailing it in. I'll just have to call a couple weeks after mailing to confirm.
How to apply for and fill out a ballot in Pennsylvania
How to for applying and filling out a ballot for Pennsylvania. Important since the ballot has a secrecy envelope that must be used.
Double post, but Philadelphia will open satellite offices for registering and early voting. (Voting is just filling out a mail-in ballot at the office, envelopes and all).

You can request a replacement or return your voted ballot through Nov. 3.

We mailed our request for absentee ballots in Ohio towards the end of August. Still haven't gotten our ballots yet so I looked up the tracking information. Absentee ballot status says ISSUED on 9/2/20, but N/A for mailed. Should it take this long to receive the ballot?
If you're in the state of New Jersey, I just got delivered my ballot yesterday. Be sure to check your mailbox over the next couple of days to see if yours arrives.
I'll be turning mine in at the County Clerk's office since I live pretty close to it.

Voted today in Colorado. They just sent out ballots, but you can vote onkine, download the ballot and send it back. Military and merchant marines can also upload to there website and get confirmation ballot is accepted. If i dont get confirmation by Tuesday, will be calling the county to see what i need to do to fix it and sending it back.
National Popular Vote Initiative was on the ballot. Wasnt aware of this, voted for it. If somehow the National Popular vote goes for Republicans (hahaha) will suck, but still feel this is better than the Electoral college we have currently.

I'm in the same situation (overseas WA), but I've only used the physical ballots. Mine came today completely soaked, so I had to request a new one, but now I'm wondering whether I should try the digital stuff instead...

I received a mail in ballot with Biden and the VP nom on it. I'm supposed to tear half of it and mail it with a pre paid postage stamp....
I haven't voted since Obama's first election. I don't think I have my voters registration card, but can't find it. I don't think it requires my card info. Just my personal info. Am I good?

Just got my absentee ballot in NYC. Not sure yet if I want to mail it in or drop it off during early voting.
Just vote, PLEASSE. In person if humanly and safely possible (and if feasible). Much less potential for fuckery that way.
But if voting by mail, do it early as possible and follow all directions carefully (here in PA if you don't put your ballet inside a separate "privacy envelope" that goes into the mailing envelope, they won't count your vote (thanks to the Trump appointed judge that recently made it so, which will inevitably cause some ballots to be tossed).
So PLEASE be super careful with the process with whatever state you are in.

My parents and I received our absentee ballots today in Michigan yesterday and we all filled ours out straight Democrat down the ticket all the way before the debate, and my Dad plans to drop them off directly at the city clerk's office for us today. Feels good to have done my part and voted against Trump, defended Gary Peter's and Andy Levin's seats, and also done my part to hopefully help flip the MI state Supreme Court as well:
Got my mail-in ballot today in Pennsylvania. Just filled it out and put it in the postbox. Feels good! Don't forget to sign the voter declaration on the back of the second envelope. I almost missed it.
In Pittsburgh, by the way. My fiancée still hasn't received her ballot and she requested hers before me, for what it's worth.

Easily find out how to get involved locally and what races need help.

I finally got my ballot here in NJ. I'm trying to figure out if I should mail it or if I should try to get to the one secure ballot box on the north side of town.
Same. Voted WFP where I could and then Dem where there was no WFP option. Kinda surprised there were a lot of WFP candidates that were not the same as the Democratic one. They're usually the same. Wonder what happened this year. Also wonder why WFP didn't nominate AOC. They didn't run a candidate in my district.
My ballot came with a voter registration form. Is that normal??
Edit: I checked the website and it says I'm already registered. I'm just gonna follow instructions and do it again, so that I don't fuck this up.

Got my mail in ballot as well the ones for parents. Gonna have to know where the early voting centers will be located so I can drop them off there.
Got my ballot in the mail today. Currently reading up on a few of my State propositions to be more informed before I cast my vote. Eagerly looking forward to voting Trump out of office, though.
Flordia's voter registration is extended till today.
Early voting has begun in a couple more states.

Pennsylvania is doing everything in their power to keep me from getting a mail in ballot
what a fucking disaster
called the county and the system rejected my request I put in 1.5 months ago. Rejected 2 other people I know also. We all re applied today. Website doesnt want to allow us to get mail in ballots.
I know someone who is in the system and when he checks his name he gets a confirmed message.

Wife and I dropped our ballots off. Going to be a fun year to work the polling stations.
There were people there doing early voting, and a woman was berating the workers about how they need to be sure they are really checking peoples signatures to stop all the voting fraud going on.
