How do I verify my absentee ballot?

[JaySherman]

Mailed it last week. How do I make sure it reaches the right hands and gets counted?

1. call the county board every day

My guess is you'll have an easier time getting your absentee ballot sent out than I will. If you send it from Japan like me you never know what's going to happen.

[JaySherman]

2. Ugh. That's where I'm sending it from.

I live here too.

[indef]

3. nice

In that case, good luck to you as well. :) Hope your county board's in Ohio or Florida or something.

[JaySherman]

4. It's in New Jersey.

Where you living Japan? Just out of curiousity.

5. Kanagawa, been here for 3 mos.

Else, I would've been on the trail for Kerry. Worked on campaigns for three years.

[JaySherman]

6. Aichi here.

Going on a year and 3 months now :crazy:

English teacher?

[indef]

8. oh yeah

does it show? can't hook up with dems japan for any event cause I work so late into the evening.

bout you?

[JaySherman]

10. "I'm fine, thank you. And you?"

I'm an ALT, as if it isn't obvious.

Sounds like you're working for one of the Engrish factories. Lemme guess... NOVA? GEOS?

[indef]

12. one of those two, yeah

As we say back home, don't be hatin'. My philosophy is to teach New York English, in which case everything I have typed is so far gramatically correct. :silly:

[JaySherman]

14. No hatin' here.

But when you've been here so long, ya gotta laugh at it.

Anyways, PM or IM me. Be cool to talk to a fellow Japan DU'er.

7. Good Luck...Shoulda Sent It Registered...

Costs a couple of extra dollars, but it requires someone at the board of elections to sign for it, and you'll get a receipt of it getting there. From there, your guess as to where it goes and what's done depends on where you're from and who runs your local elections.

9. Where are you registered to vote?

Some states have online forms where you can check.
