All your newspaper fliers, catalogs and ads. This is because the Post Office no long sorts any mail on Sundays. So, on Monday, the mail you get is what was sorted on Saturday. Since nothing is sorted on Sunday, there is no mail of significance usually on Tuesday’s” from WMCA June newsletter.

If you apply for an absentee ballot in your municipal clerk’s office, or another designated location for in-person absentee voting, you will vote your ballot immediately in the clerk’s office, seal your ballot in the proper envelope, and return it to a member of the clerk’s staff.
