DeKalb Expands Drop Box Locations for General Election
DECATUR, Ga.–Registered voters in DeKalb County will be able to cast their absentee ballots in the general election at drop box locations throughout the county. A complete list of drop boxes can be viewed at www.dekalbvotes.com.
“We’re anticipating a record number of residents will vote via absentee ballot in the upcoming general election and our drop boxes offer a secure way to cast a ballot,” said Erica Hamilton, DeKalb County’s elections director. “I encourage all voters who want to vote absentee to apply for their absentee ballot as soon as possible.”
All drop boxes are under 24-hour surveillance and ballots are securely collected at least once a day. As a reminder, ballots must be dropped off at a drop box by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020, in order to be counted.
“Our expanded drop box locations for the general election provides DeKalb County voters with additional options to cast their ballots safely this year,” Hamilton said.
