No to the proposed regulation change that would allow absentee ballots to be delivered to the Office of Elections by noon on Friday after Election Day. Mailed in ballots or absentee ballots MUST be postmarked by 7 pm on Election Day! No extensions of time. Since early voting is in effect now, there is no reason to extend voting for additional time. Adhere to the law. Postmarks MUST be preserved. A public hearing should be held before any changes to current election laws are attempted. The proposed extension opens the door for all kinds of mischief and voter fraud. The integrity of our elections must be preserved!
