Can i mail in my ballot and vote in person

In most states, you can vote by mail (also known as absentee voting) and then also vote in person on Election Day. However, the rules and deadlines for doing so may vary depending on your state and locality.

Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Check your state's rules: Each state has its own laws and regulations regarding absentee voting and in-person voting. You can check your state's election website or contact your local election office to find out their specific rules.
  2. Request an absentee ballot: If you want to vote by mail, you'll typically need to request an absentee ballot from your local election office. You can usually do this online, by phone, or by mail. Make sure to request your ballot well in advance of the election deadline.
  3. Cast your absentee ballot: Once you receive your absentee ballot, fill it out and return it to your local election office by the designated deadline. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the ballot carefully.
  4. Vote in person: If you've already requested and returned an absentee ballot, you can still vote in person on Election Day. However, you may not be able to cast a ballot for the same races or issues that you voted on by mail. Check with your local election office to confirm their rules.
  5. Verify your vote: After voting in person, make sure to verify that your vote has been counted. You can usually do this online or by contacting your local election office.
