I received an email today (or maybe it came yesterday) saying my ballot had been received. I put mine in the Rockville City Hall drop box on Sept 28th.

How do you confirm it was received?

Still waiting on my paper mail-in ballot. I requested it over a month ago and the status has shown as “sent” on the BOE website for a couple of weeks. My husband requested his later and has already received it. Are others having a similar experience or does it sound like mine has gone missing?

No it was was a paper ballot

I’m still waiting to receive my ballot. Note that the drop boxes aren’t all placed on the same date — so even if I had my ballot, the drop box that I plan to use won’t be available for two more weeks. It’s possible that rates might reflect a lot of things — including more people in Montgomery County who are either waiting for drop boxes or who plan to take their ballot to a polling station as that option becomes available.

According to this only 0.8% mail-in ballots in Montgomery County have been returned. All the other counties have much higher rates ranging from 6.6% in Prince George's County to 24.8% in Kent County. I put my ballot in the drop box last Thursday and the system hasn't updated yet to reflect that they've received it. So I'm thinking there may be many others in the same situation, and more people have returned ballots in MoCo than the stats suggest.
