Can someone else mail your ballot

In most states, it is illegal for someone else to mail your ballot on your behalf. This is because voting is a private and personal act, and allowing someone else to cast your ballot could potentially lead to fraud or coercion.

In the United States, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) require that absentee ballots be cast by the voter themselves, or by a designated proxy if the voter is unable to cast the ballot due to a physical disability.

If you are unable to mail your ballot yourself, you may be able to designate a proxy to cast your ballot on your behalf. However, this is typically only allowed in specific circumstances, such as if you are a member of the military or a civilian living overseas, or if you have a physical disability that prevents you from casting your ballot yourself.

In general, it is best to mail your ballot yourself to ensure that your vote is counted accurately and to maintain the secrecy and integrity of the voting process. If you are unable to mail your ballot yourself, you may want to consider asking a trusted friend or family member to assist you, or contacting your local election office for guidance on how to cast your ballot.
