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.
