We mailed 99 mock #VoteByMail ballots from mailboxes across Palm Beach County to see how long they took to get to our mock Supervisor of Elections Office.
What we found:
More than 90% of mock ballots we mailed returned to our mock Supervisor of Elections Office in 3 days or less.
Not a single mock ballot was lost in the mail.
One came back 4 days after the mock ballots it was mailed alongside.
- our mock ballots obviously don’t have the official markings of real ballots and could have been treated differently by mail carriers
- the general volume of mail may be much bigger come November
And we found that, no matter which part of the county they were mailed from, our mock ballots took largely between 2-3 days.
