In Bucks I received my ballot in a timely manner and was emailed when they received it back. Their communication the whole time was good. Emails tracking the process all the way.

Bucks, in my mind, is doing it right.

Our county actually does a pretty good job with elections. I've been voting for the past 19 years now and I've never had any issues at all.

Replying to my own reply.

I may not vote in person again. It makes for a calm deliberative decision. I don't have to worry about going after work when I'm exhausted and not thinking clearly. Becomes less of a chore.

Additionally, you can Google about any candidates in races you didn't know about (raising my hand that I've done this lol). Like judges, that kind of thing.

That's good to hear. I've had the pleasure of meeting almost all the election directors listed in this comment chain and they are all wonderful and competent folks. Glad most are having good experiences. County elections offices get it right like 99.9% of the time, but 0.01% 300k registered voters in York is still 300 angry phone calls. Nice to hear kudos for once.

Butler checking in…I got mine 2 weeks ago, filled it out and sent it back. Got the email from the county saying my ballot was received.

berks weighing in. it was perfect.

the only thing i would change is a more obvious way to check your application status prior to receiving the ballot. i didnt take screen shots or write down the process, but by memory, it was a little unobvious that my mother, in fact, elected to receive her mail in ballot back in feb.

like, all i remember is that finding this page

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationstatus.aspx

was easy. but it should include a link to THIS page:

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/ballottracking.aspx

which i tracked down, but my mother, or anyone not born in the internet age, would likely not find.

and then when i got to the latter page, whatever "status" that was showing for her wasnt defined well enough for us to be confident that she would be receiving a mail in ballot. it turns out that she didnt apply, so she applied, and still currently shows as "pending"... which after calling means it should be on the way, but might not be here in time, which means she will have to drop it off in person... which sucks because she is post transplant and tries to avoid crowds.

Adams did the same. And they've said they expect to be done counting mail-in/absentee ballots by the afternoon on election day, which is also awesome.
