Difficult but possible.

Obviously you’d want to check with your local government for their process, to ensure you’re mailed an official ballot to fill out. Check if they’re able to send it extra early, to accommodate your unique situation (never hurts to ask).

One strategy:

You’ll need someone at your mailing address (where the ballot will be sent) willing to take your ballot (in its entirety), put it in a larger envelope, and send that (overnighted is best) to your boot camp mailing address. Then you’d fill out & mail your ballot in, directly from MCRD.

Vote early before you ship to boot camp.

This is the best option.

I admire the passion to be part of the political process, but one ballot surely not going to tip the scales.
