—-have your name and party printed on the outside envelope. The inside sealed envelope containing the ballot has no identifying marks. The ballot itself has name, precinct, address , place to write your driver lic.. number, and optional info such as phone, email, ss last 4 digits. This is the first year I have used this method of voting. They also provide a number to call to find out if your ballot has been received. Our county is majority Repub. but the county clerks office bends over backwards to help people with voting efforts.

By the way, I have not seen a single sign or bumper sticker in at least 9 months with TFG’s name on it — in this strongly Republican area.
