Voters are reminded that anyone coming to City Hall to drop off a mail-in ballot must park their care in a legal parking space. There is no live parking as vehicles may hinder police if they need to respond to an emergency. The drop box at City Hall is located outside of the back corner of the building.
City Hall is closed to the public for normal business through Oct. 30 to accommodate coronavirus capacity restrictions amid early voting.
Beverly has election workers at the polls with name badges for those who have any questions.
"Thank you Beverly voters for being kind and class each day you come in to vote," Kent said.
