This is probably a dumb question

Can you request an absentee ballot, not complete/return it, and then show up in person to vote?

1. Different states have different rules about that. nt

with your local Board of Elections.

3. Not sure but heard you can take it with when you vote and surrender it then vote.

4. In Nevada, yes. They dispose of the mail-in ballot when you get in line.

You should be able to find the information on your official State website.

5. Yes, they will/may ask why you didn't return it,

and then they may give you a PROVISIONAL ballot; happened to my friend, in MD.

6. I think he/she is asking,

if he/she filled out a ballot incorrectly and sent it in. I would call the county election office if that is the question?

7. In some states you can.

But go online to your state voter registration sight and find a number to call. You may have to do something to be able to vote in person.

8. In Az I read on county recorders office that you have to bring the ballot to

polling place and surrender your mail in ballot and they let you vote in person

9. in Virginia yes.

You bring it to the voting location and they void it allowing you to cast a regular one on the spot. I did just that.

10. We did (in Nevada), and

we had to relinquish our mail-in ballots in order to vote in person. I believe you still could vote, though, even if you no longer had the mail-in ballot, but in that case you would have to sign an affidavit.

11. Not a dumb question at all.

It depends on your state. In Florida, a person can “surrender” a mail ballot to poll workers and get an in person ballot on the spot. The mail in ballot gets destroyed and the person then casts a live in-person vote.

Check with your state’s board of elections to see what the procedure is in your state.
