AZ Voters of DU: Has anyone put in for an early ballot but have yet to receive it?

I am currently working in DC but still vote in AZ, absentee (early) ballot. As of today, I have not received my ballot. Early voting in AZ started on the 12th but when I called my county recorder, they said they had started sending them out that Friday but mine may or may not have gone out in the same batch. I am on the permanent early voter list. I am just curious to see if anyone else here has had or is having this issue?

I am so anxious to receive my ballot - and to vote for Hillary and downticket Dems in a state that will hopefully flip for the first time in two decades and for the first time since I have been old enough to vote!

..though it's frustrating - I am just so anxious to vote - I always am but perhaps more than ever this time!

Fingers crossed all of us get our ballots sooner rather than later.

Last month I'd double-checked online to make sure I was properly registered.

Perhaps different counties mail the ballots on different days? And you'd probably need to add a couple days for the mail to reach DC. I hope you get it on Monday or very soon.

It is coming from Cochise County so that might add on a couple days too. A red trending county (though a little lighter red than in cycles past) but I like to think I am helping the statewide popular vote. If it's not there Monday or Tuesday, I am calling in again and will do so until it is received (and I will get on a plane to vote if I have to)!

I miss Pima County (graduated from U of A) - hope turnout/vote there is heavy, very key to us flipping the state!

Relieved and excited! I plan on taking my time with it this evening and mailing it on out first thing in the AM.
