If you haven’t mailed in your City Primary ballot yet, it may be too late, depending if you trust the U.S. Postal Service. Since the absolute deadline for these first time vote-by-mail election ballots is August 30, 7 p.m. you might want to consider dropping off the ballot at any of these locations, open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow. You can drop off your marked ballot, take your unmarked ballot & cast it there, or get a replacement ballot (in case your ballot was lost, spoiled, destroyed, or not received.)
