It's not a thing, here.

No one is getting an actual ballot, unless they have actually requested one.

What is being unsolicited is a "request for ballot" form. Registered voters are getting them in the mail. You STILL can't vote by mail if you get one of these forms. You have to physically fill it out, and physically return that form to the Supervisor of Elections, and you have to wait for them to verify it and then mail you the physical ballot. And THEN you can fill that in and mail it in.

YOU have to ask THEM for the ballot. There are two things going on here:

Request for Ballot Form

and

Ballot.

The former is being sent to registered voters, unsolicited.
The latter MUST be requested from the voter, using that form.
EXACTLY. Same in Massachusetts, ballot requests are sent out and signature, bar code checked same as absentee. Get rid of all unless in person.
