Yep.
Most counties use a Scantron system or a little card you have to punch chads out of. I think because we do it by hand it makes us a little more careful about how it's done--no hanging chads here.
I actually really like it--it makes more people more willing to vote, since the ballot comes to them, and there are free ballot drop boxes if people are too lazy to stick on a stamp. Plus, it doesn't matter if you're busy on election day. You don't have to carve out time to vote. Usually my ballot is sent in a week before the election.
