This happened to me in the primary and is the reason I vote in person.

Probably should have requested it earlier. We all knew this was going to be an issue. AGAIN!

This happened to me, I called my county election board and they said it's inevitable when sending tens of thousands of ballots that some get lost in the mail. They were able to cancel the one that was sent and issued a new one. I went in to their office to pick it up, filled it out on the spot and handed it back to them.

Contact your county’s election office and let them know what happened. They will be able to help you out. You will probably need to vote in person on Election Day via provisional ballot. I think you are supposed to bring your mail-in ballot with you, but your election office will let you know what to do since your’s hasn’t arrived.

You can vote by provisional ballot which will eventually be counted when they verify you didn’t send in your mail in ballot, unless you bring in your mail in ballot to the polls, in which case the election judge will spoil it and you can vote right there

This is a good reason to not use mail in voting. If you do not have a physical disability or some other issue then go in person to vote

Same. Ours were mailed 10/10 but never arrived. Had to drive to the courthouse and tell them it didn't show. They cancelled my mail ballot, gave me a new one, and I filled it out there. Took longer to find parking than the whole process.

If you don't have it by now it's too late. As mentioned, you can look up your county's board of election website and find out their hours for voting "on demand" in person prior to election day (limited options left, probably just Monday).

If your ballot does arrive, you will want to complete it ASAP and take it to a drop box - not put it in the mail, as a postmark is insufficient. It must be received at the Board of Elections no later than 8pm on election day.

Other option is to vote in person on election day. If you get your ballot in the mail beforehand, bring it with you. The judge of elections will spoil it and you'll vote in person as usual. If you don't have it, ask to vote provisionally. That means your ballot will be segregated and will only be counted after they confirm that you did not vote by mail. Insist on voting provisionally if you are told you cannot. Anyone and everyone can vote provisionally in these situations. However, best to not vote provisionally if you can avoid it because there is a high standard for the BoE to accept a provisional ballot to prevent people from voting more than once.

Just go in to your county’s election office and tell them you just found out you have to travel for work next week and won’t be here to vote. Make sure you say you just found out that morning. They’ll give u a emergency absinthe ballot with no questions asked. I just did it today and was super easy (will be out of town next week, but I’ve known for a while)
