Mail-In Ballots
Dear Mr. Melby: hopefully you will receive this note. Approximately two weeks ago I received my ballot. I completed the ballot the weekend of May 16/17. One Tuesday May 19, 2026 we drove up to the Post Office on Shady Grove Road and mailed the ballot envelope. When I returned home there was an e-mail message from the Board of Election concerning the mess up. Since I already mailed my ballot they will have to count it. I think the whole situation may have been caused by incompetence at the BOE. Hope this helps.
