What to do if your mail-in ballot never arrives or is stolen

Pete Zanko didn’t know what he should do after finding three vote-by-mail ballots strewn across the sidewalk in East Village. He was on his way to watch a playoff baseball game when he spotted those ballots and other pieces of mail near the corner of 16th Street and F Street.

“If I saw a paycheck on the ground, I’d try to get it to the person,” Zanko said. “But with ballots, I just didn’t know what to do.”

Zanko says he called the non-emergency police line and was told to flag it on the city’s Get It Done app. He says the app acknowledged it but hasn’t resolved it. So he sent NBC 7 a photo.

“If it was stolen mail, if it was just an accident, just a fluke accident, whatever it was, people still got to get their chance to vote,” Zanko said.
