Absentee Ballot Drop Box Moved for 2020 General Election
October 8, 2020
The absentee ballot drop box has moved one more time. In order to remain accessible to voters, avoid construction, and not cause any traffic jams, the drop box has moved just a few hundred feet from its former location.
The absentee ballot drop box is now located along the sidewalk running down the north side of the parking lot and leading to the main entrance of the courthouse. You will have to park your vehicle to access the box. This move will make the box available to more voters at one time without causing traffic jams.
We recommend pulling into the courthouse parking lot off of Pearl St., parking your vehicle, and walking the few steps to the drop box to deliver your ballot.
Please call the Auditor’s Office at (712) 328-5700 option 3, if you have any questions.
