SPOKANE, Wash. — Before dropping your ballot off for the April 26 special election, voters will want to make sure their go-to drop box is still open.
Some drop box locations have changed due to closures and construction at numerous library branches, according to the Spokane County Auditor's Office. Other drop boxes are no longer available.
“Some voters have become accustomed to their favorite drop boxes. We have received numerous calls from concerned voters to report that their drop box is missing,” said Vicky Dalton, Spokane County Auditor. “These boxes are just temporarily unavailable due to safety and access concerns due to construction. Other drop boxes remain available at the open branches for voters to deposit their ballots.”
Here are the current ballot drop box locations in Spokane:
- Elections Office, 1033 W Gardner Avenue, Spokane
