A friend on another forum is wondering how his mother in AL can vote. It's something I hadn't considered, but is a valid issue, and could disenfranchise perhaps thousands of people if a method isn't devised for those who live in facilities to vote.
For those with family or friends in a facility, whether AL, IL, rehab, hospital or other, what methods do you know of that are being taken to allow the residents to vote?
That’s wonderful that they go to the car. I know my mom would never be able to wait in a line.
I don’t know why a person would want to go though if they can do it easier by mail.
Some people do prefer going in person.
I wish I could renew my driver’s license by mail. It must be random. My husband has done it before but I have never received an offer in the mail like he did. I hate going to the DMV.
Several stores in my area have a sort of vending machine, linked to the Secretary of State's office, which still sends out the new license form for the next year. We can either (a) mail it back with our funds, (b) visit a SOS office, or (c) renew it through the vending machine.
It took less than 5 minutes to use the machine, once I figured how to get it started! The new license and tab were then printed out. I had never heard of this before this year, but am glad b/c I hate going to the SOS's office and waiting in in line for hours, especially with all those dozens of people, and especially during a pandemic when people refuse to cooperate and wear masks.

That is awesome! Good to know!
There are grouchy people working in the DMV in my area! Hahaha
I suppose it isn’t the most fun job! I have seen really crazy people in the DMV.
One time there was a woman that failed the test three times and she was arguing with them that she needs a license! Geeeeeez!
