The Douglas County election commissioner says his office will make a change for the upcoming general election in November.
Brian Kruse says drop boxes located around the county are normally used to collect ballots only, but now they plan to put them to work to help with early voting requests.
“We had our drop boxes closed for voters to return the green card, we are going to open these drop boxes now all around the county -- all 10 of them. So beginning July 29, all the drop boxes will be open,” Kruse tells 6 News.
Another change from the primary, the election commissioners office is now open to the public. Monday was the first day for in-person service. The office was shut down before and during the primary. Right now, officials plan to be open for in-person voting through the general election.
