Are ballots being mailed to everyone

In the United States, the process of mailing ballots to voters varies from state to state. Some states have implemented automatic mail-in voting, while others require voters to request an absentee ballot or vote in person.

As of the 2022 midterm elections, the following states have implemented automatic mail-in voting:

  1. Colorado: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election.
  2. Oregon: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election.
  3. Washington: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election.
  4. California: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election, starting in 2020.
  5. Hawaii: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election.
  6. Utah: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election, starting in 2020.
  7. Vermont: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election.
  8. New Hampshire: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election, starting in 2020.
  9. Maine: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election, starting in 2020.
  10. Maryland: All registered voters receive a mail-in ballot for every election, starting in 2020.

In addition to these states, some states have implemented automatic mail-in voting for certain elections or groups of voters. For example:

In states that do not have automatic mail-in voting, voters can still request an absentee ballot or vote in person. The process for requesting an absentee ballot varies from state to state, but typically involves filling out a request form and submitting it to the local election office.

It's worth noting that some states have implemented vote-by-mail systems, which allow voters to return their ballots by mail, but may not automatically send ballots to all voters.
