I live in a state that automatically sent every registered voter a mail-in ballot. I have been researching what to do about this because I always vote in person.

Apparently, you are supposed to bring your mail-in ballot to the polling place so that it can be properly disposed of. (Otherwise, you would be able to vote twice.)

This seriously concerns me. We all talk about voting in person. How many people know that they are supposed to bring their mail-in ballot? How many states is this applicable to besides mine??

You can get a provisional ballot but this brings up more questions. The more I research the more concerned I am. Am I misunderstanding something? If anyone has resources that explain how the voting system is protected, I'm very interested to read them. SHOULD WE JUST MAIL THESE IN?

Also worth noting, this is the first time in my life I have ever been confused about voting.
