But I don't mind sticking two stamps on the envelope. It's helping the USPS financially, and it's worth the buck to me not to have to stand in line.

But if your state isn't use 2 stamps just in case.

'No Stamp, No Problem' - All Vote-by-Mail Ballots Now Come with Prepaid Postage Return Envelopes
SACRAMENTO, CA 2019 is the first year that all California vote-by-mail ballots will come with prepaid postage return envelopes and Secretary of State Alex Padilla is announcing a new social media campaign to educate voters about this change. Today also marks the beginning of vote-by-mail ballots being sent to voters for the March 26, 2019 Special Primary Elections in Senate Districts 1 and 33 these are the first state elections to occur under the new prepaid postage return envelope law.
In California, it's now 'No Stamp, No Problem' for vote-by-mail voters, Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. Once you've filled out your vote-by-mail ballot, simply place it in the return envelope, seal the envelope, sign on the designated line, and place it into the mail box. For over a decade, Californians have been increasingly choosing to vote-by-mail. Providing prepaid postage on all vote-by-mail return envelopes makes this option even more convenient for voters. It's another way we can make it easier to participate in our democracy."

(86,667 posts)11. Until this year we had to pay the postage
for mail in ballots and I used two stamps just because I didn't want to worry about the postage. This year, the state picked up the tab but all voting is by mail.
