What an incompetent bureaucracy. Voting envelopes should be “postage paid”. Government should be picking up those costs automatically.
It's not well known, but the counties would rather pay the postage costs of unstamped ballots than have the ballots be returned and the voter possibly not being able to vote.
It would be nice if that were made official rather than an undocumented feature. I'm nice, and I always put stamps on my ballots, but it would be so much more convenient to not have to dig out my rarely-used stamps.
People forget that by not voting they are actually agreeing with every policy going forward. By actually voting you are saying that one side had better policies.
Disturbingly a lot of people who are unhappy with the outcome also didn’t vote and that is incompetence.
I’d still like to vote for policies rather than candidates. The successful candidate would then be chosen based on policy alignment etc.
