Dear PoPville

“I never received my mail in ballot”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m assuming others have had this same issue, but I wanted to let readers know that if you haven’t received a mail-in-ballot (which DC automatically sends), then you need to call DC Board of Elections to request a new ballot. Electronic ballot requests ended on 10/15 and now you can only request a ballot to be sent to an address different from what’s on your voter registration.

DC BOE’s tracking system shows my ballot was mailed 21 days ago.

I called last week to check on the status and they said they would send a new ballot. I never received the new one either. Today, I called again and the operator said there is no record of a the last two ballots being sent/requested. The operator said they’ll send one out tomorrow. I won’t hold my breath until my ballot arrives, but I will contingency plan to go early on election day and vote in-person.”
