Mr. Bayard and I have been voting by mail at this address for the past 12 years. I called the clerk yesterday to make sure our ballots were in the mail. She said, not only were we not getting mail-in ballots, we weren't registered to vote at all!
I was shocked. Now, we have to go to the courthouse next week, and get re-registered to vote in the primary. She said a birth certificate would not be required, as they were sure most people would not be able to find one--a drivers license will do.
Whew! Even if you think your registration is a sure thing, better check folks.

In CA.
I forgot if I got notice that a ballot went out but it showed up in the mailbox.
Last notification was Nov 2025. Maybe they are lagging just a bit this year.
I get confirmation when it's received and counted.
I drop the ballot off in the nuclear-bomb-resistant steel box in front of the County Clerk's Office, just before closing (pickup) time.
I must admit that I am suggesting a commercial company after just posting about a learning management system used by hundreds of companies and schools, because they all chose the same one. You hack one means that you can hack them all.
But the BalotTrax has very limited personal information, so less risk.
Smart of you to check!

(13,037 posts)They mostly don't mess with registration because of it. But everytime I go to vote I bring 2 bills delivered at my house with my name on it ( utility and wifi) because it's required for registration to make sure we are voting in correct district. I do check by calling a few times but I still bring those bills.
