I hope no-excuse absentee voting becomes the law with the constitutional amendment 🗳

I hope no-excuse absentee voting becomes the law with the constitutional amendment 🗳

I like the idea of being able to register as a permanent absentee voter, and having my ballot mailed to me prior to every election. Then I will have several convenient options when to comes to voting:

  1. Fill out the ballot, get a stamp and mail it to the Board of Elections
  2. Fill out the ballot, drop it off at ANY Early Voting or Regular Voting site
  3. Choose to vote on the machine at any Early Voting site or my regular voting site

That way I don’t have to worry or plan ahead should I be out of town on Election Day. I’ll have the ballot whether or not I need it or not. That said, I think I’d much rather fill out my ballot from the privacy of my home, then in a flimsy privacy booth with peering eyes around, and having to manually stuff it in the machine.

Going to VOTE now. 🗳

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to do this in person ever again.

Next year if the Consituitional Admendment passes I’ll become a permanent absentee voter and I can choose if I feel like it to either vote on the machine, drop off my ballot or mail it in.

They had a big ballot box for dropping off absentee ballots at the door.

I voted Republicans for County Clerk and County Coroner. I feel like a Republican County Coroner would be better at his job, especially with the Sheriff being Democratic. Likewise, I think the last really good County Clerk was that housewife from Manning Boulevard, Theresa Cooke. She hired really talented people back in the day. I did split the ticket and voted for the rest of the democrats though.

Early Voting starts today through Oct 31st. 🗳️

Early Voting runs today through Oct 31st. 🗳️

EARLY VOTING sites are open today 9 am to 5 pm in Albany County. The North East Kingdom’s most famous former resident is not on the ballot this year but five constitutional amendments are on the backside of your ballot including the right to clean air and water and no excuse required absentee voting.

I am glad that voters will get to decide whether or not they will allow no excuse absentee voting. 🗳

Voting shouldn’t be difficult, it should be the easiest way to have your voice heard. While early voting makes it a lot easier, especially for those who live next door to a polling place, being able to absentee vote is a great option especially for those who live in more outlying areas where there are few Early Voting sites.
