Not related to Texas-

South Dakota doesn't send them out until Sept 23.

Just watchin' and wondering since for the 1st time ever I did not get one at last election and when I got my new voter Id in Jan? I got 2 with slight differences and that new weird to me address using the mail service. I called and that was supposedly fixed but now I don't trust them since it seems they seem to be trying to disinfranchise a lot of voters in Texas and a nuber of other states.

We just applied yesterday for our absentee ballots. Got an email back today verifying they received our applications. Always worked before and I'm sure it will again. Not to worry if you do everything correctly.

Interesting. I did not get an email back. Time for a phone call I guess.

So you know how it works. I made a few calls then the next day I get the form in the mail and now I have 1 to be added to my mail out and another directly from the early voting clerk. That will make 3. I hope they don't decide I am going to try and vote 3 times. I also checked with the early voting clerk and was told I wasn't registered even though I was looking at my voter ID card as I spoke to her. I was instructed to call the registrar office. (Polk County Tax Office) They checked and said I am registered and the clerk was looking it up using the wrong information. Anyway I think I am a go and will have a ballot soon.

I sent a request to vote by mail for both myself and my husband a few days ago, got an email back stating "thank you for your ballot request". I had called a week ago and she said most ballots would be sent out around the end of Sept.

Just got off the phone with Polk County Clerks Office. They verified we are registered and that the last time we voted we chose "annual absentee" or whatever the wording is. Since we are over 65 they will automatically mail a vote by mail ballot to us for each election.

The person I spoke with also the ballots are not available yet. They expect to receive them in the next week or so for mailing. In our case they will go to our Rainbow Dr address for forwarding to our present location.

You first have to request an application for absentee ballot, then the ballot will be mailed. The mail service has the applications, got out last week with the mail and have sent back to clerk. Just email the mail service and request the application.
