The early voting for the Midterms is now available in many places. You can early vote at a polling place: https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state

Or you can use mail-in voting: https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form

It's highly recommended to avoid election day voting in person, and vote early.

Or drop it off at a ballot box directly, if you can.

I would avoid the mail for this vote.

To be fair, some people only have mail voting as an option for a variety of reasons. Ballot boxes are preferred, second best is mailing it in as early as possible and tracking it.

My local early voting locations seem to vary from election to election. I found my nearest one today, and will vote tomorrow. I also downloaded a sample ballot, and looked up the various judges, amendments, and bonds on the ballot and filled out my sample ballot so I know how I'm voting. I just saved an image of both sides to my phone, since I don't have a printer anymore.

I sent mine by mail, but I did so like a month ago, and then confirmed the clerk received it. I’d probably do a ballot box now

edit: I have no idea how the voting there works, so this might not be applicable.
