Voting Process & Stickers NOT Political

Mail in, no sticker.

Those are the kind we used to have. I agree, BORING!

The early voting wait times by me are an hour+ every day, so I decided to vote on Election Day. My DH early voted, and waited about 90 minutes, and he didn’t show me a sticker - I’ll have to ask him if he got one and what it looks like. I’ll try to remember to post my sticker, on Tuesday, after I vote

We also are waiting until Election Day. With all the early voting and mail in, curious how busy it will be that day. Aside from 2020, when we waited in line for 2hours (6ft. apart)….we never wait more than 20 mins. Usually less. But of course, last 25 years, we went during the day, so evenings may be a lot busier

Got this sticker on Wednesday from early voting:

I voted on Thursday afternoon in small town Florida. It was quite busy. There was a short line to get in. Several people at desks with computers. I gave them my drivers license which they verified, then gave me a couple of long pages of paper ballots. I had to bubble in. There were about 30 desks to sit at to do the bubbling and most of them were occupied. After bubbling in VERY carefully, my ballot was fed through a machine. I got 2 rather boring stickers.

Really? They usually send a sticker with the mail in ballot here.

Our little library had a line of about 25 minutes long for early voting (I voted on day 2). I provided my DL, had to do a digital signature, and was given two ballots (not duplicate). I went to my station, filled in the ovals, and then went to one of the two massive scanner machines. One I completed the scanning, I was given a sticker. I don't recall much about the sticker as I discarded it pretty soon after receipt.

What I noticed in the roughly 10 days after I voted, is that the line outside the library has been consistent.

I voted by mail (although I actually dropped it off at a drop box), and about a week later I got a postcard saying my ballot was accepted and it had a 'I Voted by Mail' sticker on it with the map of NJ and the name of my county.

I voted by absentee ballot a couple of weeks ago. Indiana

This is the first year my state offered early voting. I went today there was a line but it moved quickly. I was there probably 30 minutes in total.

Did early voting. It’s electronic but you have to print ballot once done and scan it in.

The kids and I went and voted in person at our town’s public library last night.

Early voting has been held daily since Sat Oct 27 to Sun Nov 3, 10am to 8pm (closes 2 hours early on Sundays).

When we arrived we got in line to sign the registry. That person started by asking first 3 letters of last name, first 3 letters of first name, address, had us sign the registry and then checks our current signature to that on file. What we sign is kept on record, and the matching stub is ripped off and given to us to bring to the voting machine.

These machines were new. We each received a folder to keep private our long paper ballot with personalized code on it and our ‘stub’ from the ballot registration book. The stub was put in a clear compartment on the outside of machine. After entering the booth I had to feed the 4”x14” (?) ballot into a transparent slot, make my votes on the touchscreen, hit print to transfer to my ballot, proofread ballot, then hit a button to send my ballot inside the machine for safe keeping.

For my efforts I received an “I Voted” sticker, a pack of Smarties candy, and hopefully a better version of future history.

Eta - whole thing took us less than 15 minutes.

My husband and I both did mail in voting a few weeks ago. No sticker.

I did the early voting, I saw a roll of stickers available, I didn't grab one. I wouldn't know what to put it on

I'm also in NJ and voted by mail. Our town hall has a drop box, established in 2020 when USPS was overwhelmed with volume of mail-in ballots. There are several throughout our county. We also get postcards with a sticker that confirms our ballot was received on time and will be counted.
None of us ever use the sticker. I'd rather they skip it and lower our property taxes.

We've been voting by mail since 2004 when we were cruising the same week as Election Day. We sat on the beach in Cozumel saying, "I wonder who our president is." We could switch to in-person voting now that our kids are grown and we no longer travel that week but it's convenient. This is the first time we were offered early voting. I think it's a great idea. When it was all on one day and we voted in person, we had no choice but to go after dinner and lines were awful. It would take up our entire evening until close to bedtime.

Mail in, no sticker.

Yeah, same here, Dan. To me not getting a sticker is the only disadvantage of mail in voting. Next year, I'm going to see if DH can get 2 stickers since he does early voting and gets one.
