More than two-thirds of D.C. residents who have already cast ballots have done so by mail, a reality that has scrambled how and when candidates are reaching out to potential voters.

More than 11% of mail ballots were returned as undeliverable ahead of the 2020 general election, likely because of outdated information in D.C.’s voter registry.

If you’re still waiting to return your mail ballot, election officials say you should use a drop box.

A new law, which applies only to the November election, sets up what’s known as a ballot “cure” process and requires that election officials reach out to voters whose ballots have been flagged because of errors.

More than 1.6 million Marylanders have requested mail ballots so far.

If you get a mail ballot for someone who no longer lives at your address, the D.C. Board of Elections wants you to return it.
