Can I hand deliver the filled ballot directly to my city?

3. Yes

It's basically what you do when you vote early & in person. Though you may want to check if there is a cut off date for dropping absentee ballots off.

I voted really early in the primary and did the whole process at Bloomington City Hall. First, I filled out the request for an absentee ballot, gave it to the clerk & she gave me my ballot, filled it out & returned it to her. This is kind of nice as she checked to make sure everything on the envelopes was filled out correctly when she took it from me.

Doing it in person is also nice if the clerk makes a mistake. The last election my mom was here for (2010) I took her over to City Hall and, just as we were putting her ballot in the envelope, I noticed they had given her a ballot marked with the wrong precinct. All the candidates were the same but, had she mailed it in and it had gone to the wrong precinct, it would not have been counted.
