As an Oregon native in my early 20s, mail-in is the only voting system I've ever known. I don't think I would enjoy working my schedule around waiting in line for an available voting booth and I can't imagine filling in my ballot without being able to research candidates or measures one last time online.

I tend to worry about the possibility of my ballot getting lost, damaged or held up in the mail. Because of this, I prefer to drop off my ballot at an official drop-off box or the elections office. I look forward to the possibility of confirming online that my ballot has been received by election officials in the future.
