Some states require ballots to arrive on election day and others allow it be postmarked on election day

Didn’t get it in the mail on time?  Many states have drop off locations on election day or even prior to election day

Make sure you have a stamp to return your ballot via mail!

What does postmarked mean? 

Sometimes states require ballots to arrive a certain number of days after the election, regardless of postmarked day

Sometimes the post offices don’t “postmark” an envelope, which could make the ballot invalid if it didn’t arrive by election day
