Subject: Notice of Apparent Failure to Vote

I received a notice in the mail this week indicating that I apparently didn’t vote in the last election.

To be honest, I didn’t cast a ballot. Is there a way to avoid a fine? If I claim that I voted, how would they be able to verify that I didn’t?

Could I say I had COVID-19 during that time?

I’m open to any other suggestions you might have.

Thanks!
