Is the privacy envelope mandatory or optional?

Here in Oregon, the interior privacy envelope is optional. Ballots placed directly in the mailing envelope directly will still be processed, as long as the voter still signs the outside of the mailing envelope.

Mandatory now in PA, but iinm you are given the opportunity to cure any deficiency. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:03 5
- Also in PA you sign the mailing envelope, not the privacy envelope. -- (edited) - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:04 4
  - What they need to do is allow counties to begin counting mail-in ballots before Election Day, which would eliminate the need for a privacy envelope. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 7, 08:06 3
    - I think this is still one of the items that's in the courts. The Bucks Election official was on WHYY yesterday saying it would make a huge difference - decline Oct 7, 08:09 2

Not optional. Votes returned directly in the mail-in envelope are not valid. - Volnelk Oct 7, 08:03
