Spokane County ballot drop boxes now open for November 4 election

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — With the general election less than two weeks away, ballot drop box locations are now open across Spokane County.

Ahead of the November 4 election, 27 ballot drop boxes are now open at various sites throughout Spokane County.

To be counted, a ballot must be postmarked by Election Day (November 4). To ensure your ballot is postmarked and received in time, Spokane County Auditor Vicky Dalton suggests ballots be mailed well before Election Day.

“To avoid any risk of your ballot being rejected due to a late postmark, we strongly recommend voters using USPS to mail their ballots by Tuesday, October 28. If dropping off your ballot at the Post Office on Election Day, be sure to do so before closing, and take it to the counter to be postmarked,” she said.

If you don’t want to worry about dealing with USPS, you can also drop your ballot into one of Spokane County’s official ballot drop boxes, which are open until 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Many of the drop boxes are located at local libraries.
