12. We have mail in ballots. And the reason I know they get there is I can go online

and see when it is counted.

And if it didn't come some year, I could call and get a replacement ballot and get that one voided. (They have double envelopes so they can protect your privacy while still being able to monitor that they got your ballot.)

But for anyone who doesn't want to mail it in, there are large, sturdy, locked boxes scattered all around the county, in places like public buildings and malls. So you can drop it off there, too.
