NOPE - In MANY states, it's PASSIVE.
Nine states and the District of Columbia so far plan to hold universal mail-in elections – in which ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters without needing to first request one. And with early mail-voting set to begin as early as September in some states, election experts say it's unlikely many more states would have time to make that switch.
Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Washington were the only universal vote-by-mail states before the pandemic. California, Nevada, Vermont and New Jersey have since signed on for the November election. In addition, Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska allow individual counties to decide whether to mail ballots to all registered voters.
In Florida - NOT UNIVERSAL. Voters must REQUEST vote-by-mail. I did and works for me. BUT - after I vote, I will bring the completed ballot to a county office (not sure which one for now) to MAKE SURE my vote counts - no mail for me...

Oh, I also firmly believe that NO VOTING should occur BEFORE applicable debates. It's only FAIR for ALL Parties. And the voters/constituents.
