The ballot drop box is located outside the Dauphin County Administrative Building in downtown Harrisburg.
Ballots have been mailed and a drop box has been deployed for the upcoming municipal election, according to Dauphin County.
County elections staff recently mailed out 17,200 requested mail-in and absentee ballots, which started arriving at homes over the weekend, the county stated today.
And, last Monday, a 24-hour, secure ballot drop box was affixed near the front entrance of the county building at 2 S. 2nd St. in Harrisburg.
“Our elections office staff have been planning for the election, so we can ensure voters they will have convenience and a fair election process,” said county commission Chair Mike Pries, in a statement.
Other ballot return options in the county include the county elections office at 1251 S. 28th St. in Swatara Township and the Northern Dauphin County Human Services Center in Elizabethville.
Starting Oct. 11, the elections office will extend its hours until 6 p.m. weekdays for ballot return and until 8 p.m. on Election Day, which is Nov. 2. The Northern Dauphin County Human Services Center is open for ballot return from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weekdays, and until 8 p.m. on Nov. 2.
