I requested the primary ballot and the GE ballot on line at the same time at least a month ago, as soon as the request was allowed. I got the primary ballot in the mail about a week later, filled it out and sent it in (the primary is on Aug. 11). They will send me the GE ballot in September and just to be on the safe side I'll hand-deliver it to the proper location as soon as it's allowed.
