Voters in Delaware County can take advantage of 37 ballot drop box locations for the General Election on November 5, starting yesterday. As reported by Delco Votes!, the drop boxes will accept mail and absentee ballots until 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Most locations offer around-the-clock service, save for Chadds Ford and Ridley Park which have specified hours of operation.
In a move to streamline the voting process, all drop box sites are detailed on the website, complete with an interactive map and downloadable PDF. County residents can return their ballots in any of these boxes, irrespective of which municipality they reside in. The voting site provides essential instructions for mail or absentee ballot requests, which require a valid ID and can be made until October 29. To avoid any delays, officials urge voters to apply immediately, to ensure sufficient time for ballot receipt and submission.
Delco Votes! offers a guide for properly marking, sealing, and returning ballots. In the event of an error, voters are encouraged to either call the Election Hotline at (610) 891-VOTE (8683), or visit the Voter Service Center in Media for assistance and, if necessary, ballot or envelope replacement.
Voters have been reminded, that they can only return their own ballots unless they're aiding disabled or emergency absentee voters – in which case a signed declaration form is required. For any questions or to access in-person services, the Delaware County Voter Service Center is reachable via the Election Hotline or by visiting its location at the Government Center Building, with operation hours posted on the Delco Votes! website.
For Delaware County residents, the Delco Votes! page remains the go-to resource for the latest election news.
