Ballot drop box back at Lake Forest Park

The ballot drop box has returned to Lake Forest Park.

It is located on the side of the Lake Forest Park City Hall in the lower level of Towne Center at the northeast corner of Ballinger and Bothell Way.

The drop box is open for business and will remain open 24 hours a day until Election Day, November 2 when it closes at 8 pm.

A ballot drop box is a way for voters to securely return their mail ballot without the cost of postage.

Ballots are collected regularly from each drop box by King County Elections. Two official elections workers will use a chain of custody process to transport all ballots.

Ballot packets are delivered to the Elections facility where they are processed with other returned mail ballots. The signature on every ballot is checked against the voter’s registration file and if it matches, the ballot moves forward.
