I'm from NYC and I haven't gotten anything yet.  Any other new yorkers out there?  Have you gotten your ballots?

What a miracle!  I step out to the shops for orange juice mere hours before I leave for Dublin, and when I get back home my ballot has arrived!  YAY!   ;D

Does yours say you can use pencil or black or blue ink?

I'd use INK if you can.   ;)

Mine arrived monday morning.....and went back out in the post 2 hours later.... It may not help but at least it gives me free rein to b*tch and moan for the next 4 years!  (My not so dear partner and I had one almighty row when he told me I was "wasting my vote".. I did ask him to define just how I was wasting a vote - as if votes should only be for the winner????-, but he couldn't come up with anything... :-X)

Personally I was uneasy about placing my signature on the outside as well as a lot of personal information on the exterior swaer it's you or die ...envelope.. so I just chucked all of it into a big brown envelope and stuck a UK stamp on it and sent it on it's merry way.

I haven't received mine yet. :-[

My information pack said my state mails them out 35 days before the election so it looks like it wasn't mailed or the wonderful postal system still has it.

Has anyone used the Federal Write-In Ballot?

I just received my NY absentee ballot, pcbnyc- it came on Thursday. BUT after fretting and waiting for it,  I ALSO just found that I have a blank "Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot for General Elections".

 Would you like it? If you wanted to pm me your postal addy, I would be happy to send it out to you on Monday! Should still be in time to vote!
