When does an absentee ballot vote actually count in an election?

It's counted as a normal vote because it is a normal vote. It's just a different method of voting.

In some states, the state legislature has to vote to certify the elections.  In others, it is the Executive branch.

I was wondering if voting absentee is not a better route since these voting machines are so unreliable. I don't know. I sure liked tossing a folded envelope inside a box.

It ensures you don't try to vote more than once. There are still holes in the system, but hopefully they worked out. I don't think it is right for dead people in Chicago to get a vote.

place refers to where you go to vote, and has nothing to do with any candidate or any other matter regarding what or who to vote on. you can call your local election commission, or city hall to find out where you are to go to cast your vote. small towns may only have a single place to vote, while larger ones may have sevel, and cities may have several hundred locations. you can only vote absentee, or early, for a short time before the election day. but when you go on election day, you have only one place you can go to vote. that is your specific polling place. if you go somewhere else you will not be allowed to vote, but they will tell you where to go so that you can vote.

The first answer must not have read the whole question.  The link below is the Unofficial Results on the Louisiana Secretary of State's website.  The official results should be available in a week or two.  They have to finish counting provisional and absentee ballots

Two hours if the employee does not otherwise have two consecutive hours off while polls are open.\nhttps://www.hrtools.com/pops/P98_05_4335_MD.asp\nhttp://www.elections.state.md.us/voting/election_day_questions.html

They know the vote isn't valid, since they've been disenfranchising the votes.  The ironic thing is that they actually think challenging the validity of the vote will HELP their count!

Could be, some of the toss-up states (e.g. VA) are within a thousand votes.  Close enough to count the absentee ballots.

Do you mean registering to vote?   Electoral Votes are established for each state, not based on registration. I believe.

depends on the state or local laws.  for presidential elections, it still epends on the state laws.  sometimes people are on the ballot in one state but not the other.

I vote, but I live in the U.S.  In my opinion voting is definitely important.  I also think that people that don't vote should not run their mouths about who is currently in office because had they taken the time to go vote they may have been able to sway the outcome of the election.

We won't know that answer until tomorrow at the earliest.\n\nAbsentee ballots are still coming in and polls aren't quite closed yet on the East Coast. (It is 4.53 mst as I type.)  And many states allow people to vote early.  Those are all counted tonight, even though the people did not technically vote today.  ; )\n\nEdit: I voted last week.  The turn-out in my part of Colorado is great!

States are given the obligation to regulate voting in the state by the US constitution but such regulations may not violate the US constitution.  This allows voting to vary somewhat.  Still, I think it's universal that the registrar must receive notification of any address changes by a certain number  of days before the election is held.  You should have a voter registration card and it will give you the location of the polling place to which you have been assigned.  There are people who return to that location to vote even though it is probably illegal in all states to do so and some will ask you for proof of address at the poll.\nThe registrar's office is not usually a polling place on election day but there are states who have provisions for voting there in advance of election day.  \nElection day is no secret, sprung on us at the last minute.  If it is important to a citizen to vote, he or she has plenty of opportunity to arrange this and to become fully informed on all issues as well as to view a sample ballot.\n\nOK sorry if I was unsympathitic.  If there was a governor position up for grabs in your state like in mine last year, that would explain it.  Often those cards or announcements come from the parties and they are designed to look official.  Both rep. and dem. made sure my 90 year old mother got an absentee ballot application.  This year I waited for one to show up for her and finally got nervous and called the reg. office and asked when it was coming.  She had me varify some info and it arrived at Mom's in 2 days. All I had to do was ask and she got to vote.  I used to take her to the polls, wheel chair and all.  This made a world of difference.  I still go to the polls, myself, though in my state, being a care giver would qualify me to get an absentee ballot.  \nThe party campaigns can get you confused.  Next year, heck why wait, next working day you can, give the office a call and find out what you need to do so you don't lose your voice.  Some where on your state's web site, you can probably read the voting laws.  I hope you got to vote this year, but the timing was against your chances.  You've got a year to study up and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Not to my knowledge.  It would be difficult to prove you are who you say you are if you could vote on-line.\n\nLong way of saying...you need to go out to vote.  \n\nNext-time you might consider an absentee ballot.  ; )\n\nFor this time...Go Vote!  LOL
