[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article didn’t say you could change your choice. For those willing to vote in person, you can take your mail in ballot with you to the polls on Election Day, show it to prove you haven’t already voted, and then vote in person. They take the mail in ballot. So that is an option. But for people who don’t want to vote in person, maybe call the election office. The MOntgomery County Board of Elections number is 
240-777-8500.

I was told that once I request a mail-in ballot, if I decided to vote in person, I would only be allowed to use a provisional ballot. I hope the information provided above is an accurate update.  
What I plan to do is take my mail-in ballot to a drop-box as soon as the drop boxes are available.  While my usual polling center will not be open for in-person voting, they will have a drop box.    [/quote]

My understanding about the way it works is that if you have your mail in ballot, not yet mailed, and you produce it at the polling place, you vote a regular ballot. If you requested a mail in ballot, but don’t show up with it at the polling place, you may vote a provisional ballot, and then they will figure out afterwards which ballot to count. If you had already mailed your ballot and it was processed, then that one counts. If they confirm that your mail in ballot wasn’t counted, they will process and count the provisional ballot.
