Ballot drop-off points added

The Chester County Board of Elections approved today the addition of five secure drop-off locations for mail-in and absentee ballots for the 2020 Primary Election.   These additional sites have been created to accommodate voters who are concerned that their mail-in ballot may be returned too late by the postal service to be counted.

The five new drop-off locations are added to the drop-off location already established at the Chester County Government Services Center in West Chester.  Each drop-off location contains a locked, tamper-proof dropbox which is guarded and will not be left unattended at any time.

From Monday, June 1 through to primary election day, Tuesday, June 2, the following locations will accept mail-in and absentee ballots:

Chester County Government Services Center, 601 Westtown Road, West Chester. Located in the lobby. Open all hours until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2.

Chester County Public Safety Training Campus, 137 Modena Road, Coatesville. Located at the test site greeter station. Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Longwood Gardens South Parking Lot, 1010 East Baltimore Pike, located at the test site greeter station.  Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Kimberton Fair Grounds, 762 Pike Springs Road, Phoenixville. Located in the parking lot.  Open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Warwick County Park, 191 County Park Road, Pottstown, Located in the park office.  Open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Battle of the Clouds Park, 125 North Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Located in the parking lot.  Open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

All mail-in and absentee ballots are due by 8 p.m. on primary election day, Tuesday, June 2. Under state election law, voters are only permitted to place their own ballots in the secure drop boxes at the drop-off locations, and cannot drop off ballots for relatives, friends or others.

Chester County received just under 92,000 mail-in and absentee ballot application requests by the application deadline on May 26 and has so far received nearly 65,000 returned ballots by mail.
