Ballot Drop Boxes Are Open

Ballot drop boxes opened on April 23, 2021 and are doing daily pick-ups since April 24th. The county clerk is NOT mailing ballots to every voter. Rather, ballots are being mailed to all voters who are on the “All Future Elections” list. The first mailing is approximately 35,000 ballots. Every ballot thereafter will be sent to voters who request on.

The Linden Drop Box is located at the Raymond Wood Bauer Promenade, at 400 North Wood Avenue.
