Registrar of Voters office early.

Something new to me is they now have drop off points. It used to be you had to go to the Registrar for early drop off or a polling place on election day to drop it off.

AFAIK, state law has allowed you to drop off your ballot at your county registrar any time up to election day - at least in the 20 years I’ve been voting by mail - and drop boxes start. appearing about 4 weeks prior. And of course tou can mail it back as soon as you receive it

And this was only on Election Day. The polling places change but are always within a short walking distance. I like to drop it off, get a sticker and feel proud of being a good citizen when I drop it into the slot. I am a weirdo, I actually love dropping it off. The whole process makes me proud, this may be due to the fact that I was born on July 3rd in Philadelphia. In fact, I always would take my dogs (the Poll workers loved the furry voters) and they always got stickers too, which I put on their stuffed animals. My furbabies are gone but their toys still have the stickers on them...that makes me smile. I have never seen any other dates to drop it off at my local places until this year when I studied the booklet, looking to see where I would need to drop it off this year.
