I just wanted to say how great the Department of State has been in communications during election season. It's comforting to get the emails when the ballot has been mailed and when it's been received (always worry a little bit about the USPS losing them).

Random, but do you have an idea of how long it takes after sending your ballot in that they process it? It's been weeks since I mailed mine back and the registration site still hasn't updated they received it.

You mailed it “weeks” ago? When did you receive a ballot?

Early October. Completed it and mailed it out immediately. Usually, I see it as accepted pretty quickly, but not this time. I want to make sure my vote gets in.

I feel like they process them in batches, and sometimes they may let them sit around before they mark them as received.

I sent my ballot in I got a a verification by email within 48 hours and my vote was counted so I really don't believe what you're saying

It will depend on your County. They won't "process" it by removing it from the return envelope until after polls close on Election Day. I got confirmation that my ballot was received in Philadelphia in about 3 business days.

Best thing to do first is call your County office and ask what their procedure is and if they can confirm it.
