LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ELECTION CONFUSION
Reading the last six paragraphs of the article in the ADN June 7 was rather alarming. There are 48 candidates in this special election, but we have been instructed from the very beginning of the process to wrap up our research and discussion and vote “as soon as possible,” for the convenience of the state Division of Elections. The deadlines for postmarking are not uniform, and there is apparently no website to figure out these deadlines. Despite everyone calling this an “all-mail election,” it turns out that we can vote in person. There are dozens of places to vote early, and some, but not all, will be open on Saturday itself.
Why not print the locations and hours for in-person voting along with the article itself? I know that People Mover is offering free rides on Saturday. People who don’t have a witness or are concerned that their ballots might get lost, or that they will miss the cut-off for postmarking, or that there might be an issue about their signatures, should know about their options — indeed, should have known about them weeks ago.
