PAPILLION, Nebraska -- There are now two more ballot drop box locations for Sarpy County voters to drive up and drop off their ballots for the November General Election.
The Sarpy County Election Commission says the boxes are secure, and free, no postage stamp required. Each drop box features multiple locking mechanisms and is secured to a cement pad.
“Voters have been requesting ballot drop boxes closer to where they live and work, so we are excited to add the two new boxes,” said Sarpy County Election Commissioner Michelle Y. Andahl. “We now have a box in each city, as well as one here at our office.”
The six drop box locations are:
- La Vista Police Department parking lot 7701 S. 96th Street, La Vista
- One block south of Springfield Community Center 153 S. 1st Street, Springfield
- McKinney’s Food Center parking lot 215 Enterprise Drive, Gretna
- Bellevue Public Library Parking lot 1003 Lincoln Road, Bellevue
- Sarpy County Courthouse Campus parking lot 1248 Golden Gate Drive, Papillion
- Sarpy County Election Commission Parking lot 501 Olson Drive, Papillion
The boxes are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the election cycle, and Election Commission employees empty the boxes each day.
In addition to ballots, voters can also use the boxes to return Early Voting Ballot Applications. Postage is not required when using the drop boxes.
