The United States Postal Service said people should mail in their ballots on Tuesday, Oct. 27, if they want them to arrive by the deadline of noon on Election Day.

Those mail-in ballots must be physically into clerk’s offices by noon on Election Day, not just postmarked by then. Voters can’t simply drop off ballots at early voting sites, nor would you want to due to extremely long lines seen recently for early voting.

For people mailing in those ballots, as of Monday, almost 73% of the state’s mail-in ballots had been received.  The United States Postal Service said those voters need to get their ballots in the mail on Tuesday a week before Nov. 3, to ensure they make it by noon on Election Day.
