MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE
If you’re concerned about the post office but need to vote by mail (especially for age/health reasons), apply for an ABSENTEE ballot (NOT the no-excuse Mail-In Ballot) if you have one of the seven reasons to vote absentee. Then you can apply by fax or email and return the ballot IN PERSON (or have an immediate family member do so).
STL CITY voters use this application: https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/board-election-commissioners/documents/upload/Regular-Absentee-Ballot.pdf and submit by email or fax — that contact info is listed on the form

Can’t return the ballot in person? Just make sure it gets in the mail 2–3 weeks before Election Day! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PLAN APPLIES TO ABSENTEE-BY-MAIL but NOT the no-excuse Mail-In Ballots (which MUST mailed in).
