This is actually the way Oregon does it. You don't mail it back, there are dropoffs (located all over the place).
You are also automatically registered by default, but can elect to opt-out.

It's pretty convenient. (I live in Oregon.) Dropoffs are all over the place, you can do it right up to the end of the day on election day, but really you have 2 weeks to fill it out and drop it off.
I believe it's resulted in Oregon consistently having one of the highest voter turnouts, which is notable, since there's next to nothing spent in the state in terms of campaign advertising, and the senate races are not particuarly contentious.
- steeef 9y agoYou can choose to either vote by mailing your ballot back in the provided, pre-paid envelope, or dropping it off. I usually end up waiting until the last minute and then driving to a nearby public library to drop it off.
- Aloha 9y agoI live in washington, similar system except the envelopes are not prepaid.
- ckrailo 9y agoThe envelopes are not prepaid in Oregon either, that was an oops. (Or, at least they aren't in Washington and Clackamas counties!)
