Throughout the United States there has been a lot of talk about mail-in voting. There are a lot of things some people may not know about mail-in voting that could change the way people look at the idea of sending your vote in through the mail system.

There are many aspects that go into the idea of the mailing process, as well as a lot of things you must do for the vote to make it through and actually count as a vote. It’s not as easy as printing a simple ballot off and sending it to a specified address. 

With many different regulations and rules on mail in voting, there are many proven and thought out facts that some people may not know about the voting procedure. The ballots will be mailed individually to certain people that apply for them. The ballots must be filled out and taken to a notary and notarized before being able to send in the vote. 

There are seven attributes that a person can qualify for that can allow for a person to not have to go and get the mail notarized. The seven things are if a person is 65 or older, lives in a long term care facility, has a chronic lung disease or severe asthma, serious heart condition, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, or if you are immunocompromised.

Mail-in voting is going to be a way to allow every citizen in the United states to have a chance to impact the world as much as anyone else.
