Reply to comment by AtmoSZN in PSA for mail voters: be careful with the two envelopes! by CashierHound

I’ve been tracking mine and it says it was dispatched from the office 3 weeks ago and it still hasn’t arrived. I have no idea what happened to it or where it is. I’m an 8 hour drive away and I plan on driving the entire way there and back on Election Day to vote because this is bullshit

You might have some options so that you're not traveling 16 hours on election day. Per this news release (PDF download), "the Elections Division can reissue the ballot in its main offices during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM." Elsewhere on their site they say, "If you do not receive your ballot within 7-10 days of it being sent, please contact the Elections Division to determine what options you may have."

Since you've already applied for the ballot, I would suspect that the Nov. 1 application deadline does not apply to you. You could show up downtown, get a reissued ballot, and return the voted ballot. On election day, just go to your polling place. Be aware that you'll only be able to vote a provisional ballot unless you can surrender the original ballot.

Great that I can get a new ballot in person but doesn’t really solve the problem of being 8 hours away…I take it there’s not some fast tracked process? I can only get out of my current city for that day so either I drop money on a plane ticket or I’m driving 16 hours

Yep. Just checked and saw mine got mailed out three weeks ago too. I gotta make some phone calls and cancel my trip now.
