Oh shit, is the election tomorrow? And the ballot has to be completed on or before it? Even with the constant spam texts that snuck up on me. I’ve been really sick for weeks.

I guess I just do it tonight and mail it tomorrow, and hopefully even with the weekend it arrives within 13 days.

Edit: I’ve filled out the ballot slip and voted above the line with 6 candidates. Already second guessing my choices but it’s done.

Tomorrow someone comes so they can witness my signature and take me to post it.

And if it is too late then they can just fine me. I don’t care. I’m struggling severely with my health and am doing my best.
