Canton's Clerk Office Adds New Drive-Up, Drop-Box For Absentee Ballots

Press release from the City of Canton:

July 27, 2020

Canton voters who prefer to deliver absentee ballots in-person can now place them in the new ballot drop-box, located behind Canton’s Administration Building on the southwest side of the parking lot.

Not only does the new drop-box save voters time and money on stamps, it’s also compliant with COVID-19 public health precautions. The stainless steel, double lock access, anti-pry door, provides a secure way to protect ballots from harsh elements or any tampering. The new drop-box also offers one-hand delivery at ADA compliant height. Dropping off an absentee ballot in-person eliminates the possibility of a ballot arriving late and not being counted. Please note, all ballots MUST be dropped-off before 8 pm on Election Day.

Absentee voters still have the option to mail-in their ballots or submit them directly to the Clerk’s Office during regular business hours, Tuesday-Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm.
