Yeah it varies from state to state. I do wonder about the signature update thing, in the long term it may be worth contacting the election officials and asking about if it’s possible to update your signature.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranConcerns about my signature not matching is a big part of the reason why I decided to vote in person early.
My current signature is a actually a reasonably good match for the one on my driver's license, but I have no idea if that's the one they use for my voting registration.
Honestly though, if they absolutely have to use signatures they should keep every signature from every ballot you cast on file, in person or absentee. That way when they compare signatures they aren't just looking at what could be a decade-plus old signature but they can also see how it's evolved over the years and what it looked like potentially under a year ago.

It must be different in New York, because in Pennsylvania I got an email notification that my ballot was accepted.
