About Those HCSD Absentee Ballots
Tomorrow, June 2, is the last day to request an absentee ballot for the HCSD budget vote and school board election. Previously, the HCSD website made this statement about who would receive absentee ballots: "Qualified voters on the most recent years' poll lists will be automatically sent an absentee ballot (i.e., if you voted on a school budget/board election within the past four years)." As of today, that statement has been replaced by a new statement:
(UPDATE 6/1) All registered voters will be automatically sent an absentee ballot and prepaid return envelope in the mail.
According to information received by Gossips, the District Clerk has indicated that more than 10,000 ballots were mailed out a week ago. So far, there have been no reports that any of these ballots have been received.
I spoke to the District Clerk today. I was told that the ballots have not been mailed because the vendor ran out of supplies. This is apparently not just a HCSD issue. They should be going out tomorrow. Hopefully. Cutting it tight if we are to allow 2 to 5 days -- per HCSD -- for our ballots to be received by 6/9
