In reply to the discussion: Gov. Abbott issues proclamation allowing just one mail-in-ballot drop-off location per county [View all]yellowdogintexas
(22,252 posts)I begged our Administrator to set up drop boxes and he wrote me back telling me he was stuck with one drop off until the Election Code was rewritten. This was in July right after the runoffs. He sent me a copy of the proclamation Abbot did to move the runoff date. That proclamation also included the extension of early voting days and the extension of the number of days ballots could be dropped off. That proclamation went out in Late March, I think.
SO our elections administrator got his team together and they came up with a plan to make it as easy as possible for voters to drop ballots off. They did a good job.
