Additional ballot drop boxes for Wyandotte County were installed today.

The locations of the additional drop boxes include the Bonner Springs City Library, 201 N. Nettleton Ave., Bonner Springs; Edwardsville City Hall, 690 S. 4th St., Edwardsville; Kansas City, Kansas, City Hall, 701N. 7th; and the West Wyandotte Library, 1737 N. 82nd St., Kansas City, Kansas.

Two other ballot drop boxes were installed earlier at the Wyandotte County Election Office, 850 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.

Jack Granath, director of the Bonner Springs City Library, said Unified Government workers installed a drop box today at the Bonner Springs Library.

Originally, the plan was to put a drop box at Bonner Springs City Hall, but because of construction there, the location was changed to the Bonner Springs Library, he said. Granath said the workers did a great job on the installation of the box. Ballots will be picked up once a day by the Election Office.

The ballot drop box at the West Wyandotte Library is located on the south side of the parking lot. The Edwardsville drop box is on the southeast corner of the building.

Completed mail ballots can be mailed back to the Election Office, or can be dropped off at the ballot drop boxes, or they may be taken into the advance voting locations in Wyandotte County during the hours they are open. They also can be taken to any Wyandotte County polling place on Election Day when the polls are open.
