Talk:Vote-by-mail

We should merge with postal voting.
This article and postal voting are on the same subject. We should merge them into one article.--Clipdude 18:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote by mail is something of a misnomer as implemented in Oregon, though it is the name used. The ballots are indeed mailed to registered voters.  But the completed ballot need not be mailed back.  It is just as easy (for a good many people) to drop it off—without postage—at numerous public collection sites:  libraries, some shopping centers, the county election headquarters, and the central square of many cities and neighborhoods.  Odds are there is a location along the way of daily or weekly commuting or errands.  Drop off is permitted from the time ballots are mailed out (2-4 weeks before "election day") up to 8 pm on election day.  EncMstr 04:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

To my knowledge, Island, Kittitas, Klickitat and Pierce have no plans to go VBM-only. King is only likely to switch in 2007. So in 2006, only 34 counties will be VBM-only. 216.254.18.167 00:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
