Nice to have them in hand. Thanks for letting us know why they were late.

tlc: both the Phelan and WW branches of the SB Co. Library have drop boxes for the ballots. The cast ballots are picked up weekly from the libraries by the SB Registrar of Voters. There are also probably other drop box sites, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with and would be the most comfortable using. No need to spend the money if you are driving by, or using, one of these sites. You can also vote in person, but if you do so, you must have your mail-in ballot w/you to ensure you are not double voting.

Registrar of Voters rolls out Ballot Drop-off Location Locator
FYI the Wrightwood Library has a 24 hours drop off for mail-in ballots.

For registered voters wishing to drop off mail-in ballots, the County Registrar of Voters has set up an interactive web page to find the nearest official ballot drop-off location. The Ballot Drop-off Location Locator is https://www.sbcountyelections.com/Voting/MailBallotDropOff.aspx

I put mine in the drop box at the Wrightwood library.
I was notified, by email, today, that my ballot had been received and was accepted by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters.

Got my ballot, mailed it at the POST OFFICE, it was received, certified and counted within a few days.

So, you can still vote in person even if you have a mail in ballot? Just bring it with you...just checking.

This year, everyone gets an absentee ballot, if they want it or not.

There are at least five ways to vote.

Fill it out and mail it.
Fill it out and drop it at a drop box.
Fill it out and take it to the Registrar of Voters office (probably the most secure way).
Fill it out and drop it at the poll on election day.
Surrender it at the poll and vote normally.

There have been stories on the news about unofficial drop boxes, and today, one that was intentionally set on fire.

I may decide to hand carry the ballot to the Registrar of Voters office.

Hopefully not actually counted.

If early vote counts "leak" it could affect the election outcome.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure they can't legally start counting until all of the polls close.

The official polling place here in WW is at the Methodist Church, which opens this year on Oct. 31. I've never had an absentee ballot before, but I'm going to take advantage of it and take it to the church and hand it to a poll worker. This election is too important to risk having a ballot lost or damaged.

We have always been mail-in. But we went online and re-registered as non mail-in (took 4 minutes) so we could go vote in person on the 3rd. This is the first time that we have not felt that our voting system is working right, with all the lost ballots, late ballots, ballots that have been mailed out to dead people and stories of ballots just laying around on the ground (no offence to our postal service, but ? ) and all the other stories we have been seeing in the news... Voting is a privilege that some other countries don't have .

Mailed the ballot on Saturday at the WW Post Office. Tuesday received this message
