i was sent back by the post office stating that ballots will not be accepted on election day. just found out she is wrong, now heading back to the post office to mail in my ballot.

.....

When must the voted ballot be returned?
Mail ballots must be post-marked on or before Election Day. If the Auditor's Office receives a ballot after Election Day that was not post-marked on or before Election Day, the votes on the ballot will not be counted.
