Ballard ballot drop box sees lots of action on Election Day

BYUwwa1CEAAeHHUElection Day has arrived and the drop box outside Ballard library (5614 22nd Ave NW) has been seeing lots of action this morning.

Voters must return their ballots by mail today (postmarked with today’s date) or drop them off at a local drop box in order for them to be counted.

If you are using the Ballard Library drop box make sure that your ballot is dropped off before 8 p.m. tonight as ballots dropped after this time, by law, cannot be accepted. Also, remember to sign the envelope before you drop your ballot off.

Ballots will be collected regularly from the Ballard drop box by King County Elections and two official elections workers will use a chain of custody process to transport all ballots to the Elections facility. Once they are delivered to the facility they will be processed with other returned mail ballots.
