minus-squarefermionsnotbosons@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoNo postage needed in California, nor Massachusetts if I recall correctly. Does your state really make you find a stamp to vote in 2024? That sucks, sorry to hear that.

Allow early in-person voting centres and postal votes. Make it convenient. Though, maybe these are only widespread in mandatory voting counties (like mine), because you’d get massive complaints if it wasn’t convenient. Turnout is unsurprisingly, very high here.
