Ballot Postage question

[Deleted]

Anyone know how much it costs to mail back the ballot? My envelope for mailing the ballot says additional postage required so I'm guessing that is more than the standard 45cents.

ETA: Never mind. The campaign people that stopped by told H that it requires 2 stamps since it is so big.

That's weird, we always just use one stamp. I wonder if the county has to pay the extra postage for folks that only put one stamp on.

The ballot for Kitsap county is huge. It is a 5x10 inch envelope.

Hmmm, well I guess that would make a difference. It didn't occur to me that different counties would have different sized ballots, but makes sense for sure.

Make that 5.5x10.5inches.

it's the same for all of us i think. 1 stamp.

Some counties have larger ballots so theirs require 2 stamps this year apparently. www.thenewstribune.com/2012/10/20/2338395/ballots-in-some-washington-counties.html

It does say that the post office should deliver it anyways but I would worry about it not getting there.

I normally mail it because I can never remember to stop off at the fire station to drop it off. The one year I did this it didn't get sent in.

It depends on the county, but I think King's is two stamps.

But, the state has some deal with USPS where they try to deliver them anyway.

Huh. I never knew it needed 2 stamps.

Not all counties need 2 stamps. This is a first this year as well.

Why can't they standardize ballots? Dumb.

I don't know. It makes sense to.
