Well, duh. I'm old, and I think the grocery store and 7-11 carry them. Do they sell them individually? Because here's how I see it playing out:

1. I want to vote, so I fill out my ballot.

2. It needs a stamp. Do I have stamps? Of course I don't have stamps, I'm young and I've never mailed anything in my life.

3. My friend said the 7-11 has them. I hope she's right, because I don't want to have trek over to the grocery if she isn't.

4. I have to buy a whole book of ten? I only need one, and I'll probably lose the other nine before I need another one.

5. Half hour of time and $5 gone because the state tried to save $0.44 on postage.

Yeah, I wouldn't vote, either. I used to drop mine at the drop box because it was easier than finding a stamp (and it's on the way to work). WA finally wised up and just made the envelopes postage-paid.
