Broward Setting Up Secure Vote-By-Mail Drop Off Locations

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - With questions about the US Postal Service and their ability to manage an expected flood of Vote-By-Mail ballots for the November election, Broward's elections department has a plan.

They will be setting up 24 separate secure Vote-By-Mail ballot drop off locations throughout the county.

"Given the number of calls related to USPS and alternatives for ballot delivery, it was important to notify the public of the available options as ballots are mailed between September 19th and October 24th," said Supervisor of Elections Peter Antonacci.

Antonacci notes that there are dozens of USPS mail boxes, many of which are drive-thru, where voters may drop off their postage pre-paid ballot.
