If the word "RECEIVED" is shown in blue, your ballot will be counted. If it shown in red, there is a problem.

Could they have done this better? Absolutely.

Is it working? Seems to be.

I checked today and it now shows up as counted. The SOE received my ballot on October 1 and it was listed as received for the first three+ weeks. The canvassing board started meeting on Monday.
