One thing that I loved during the height of the pandemic was absentee ballots. I wouldn't mind if that stuck around.

A change was made earlier this year that allows anyone to vote absentee using sickness as the reason as long as there is covid present in the community. I agree though, other states have been doing no excuse absentee for decades without issue.
What I would love to see is those booklets that get sent to every voter educating them on the candidates and issues on the ballots that some states do.

Doesn’t even have to be covid. It can be any community health concern. Flu, cold, cooties, you name it.

Cooties. That made me chuckle.

Yes! I lived in Denver and the booklets they send out are amazing. It gives people a chance to understand each issue more thoroughly and the fact that you pretty much HAVE to vote absentee in Colorado meant I was filling out my ballot with my booklet and Google in front of me. Definitely felt as if it were the most informed decision making I’ve done.

I read through that a couple weeks ago. I took that as if you are sick or autoimmune compromised you can use that as a reason to get an absentee ballot.
Also, I agree, I would love to see a bit of information regarding what's on the ballot. In as simple terms as possible. I think it could be really helpful to a lot of people.
