Can you vote in person even if you mail vote

In the United States, the rules regarding voting in person after mailing in an absentee ballot vary from state to state. Here's a general breakdown:

Some states allow in-person voting after mailing in an absentee ballot:

  1. Oregon: If you've already mailed in your absentee ballot, you can still vote in person at your assigned polling place or at a designated location.
  2. Washington: If you've requested an absentee ballot but haven't returned it, you can still vote in person at your assigned polling place.
  3. Colorado: If you've requested an absentee ballot but haven't returned it, you can still vote in person at your assigned polling place.

Some states do not allow in-person voting after mailing in an absentee ballot:

  1. Most states: If you've already mailed in your absentee ballot, you may not be able to vote in person. In these states, your absentee ballot is considered cast and cannot be changed or replaced.

Important notes:

  1. Check your state's specific rules: Before heading to the polls, verify your state's rules regarding in-person voting after mailing in an absentee ballot.
  2. Don't risk invalidating your absentee ballot: If you've already mailed in your absentee ballot, it's best to confirm with your state's election officials that you won't be able to vote in person. If you do show up to vote in person, you may inadvertently invalidate your absentee ballot.
  3. Consider voting absentee or early in-person: If you're concerned about the possibility of your absentee ballot being rejected or delayed, you may want to consider voting absentee or early in person instead.

Remember to always check with your state's election officials or website for the most up-to-date information on voting rules and procedures.
