Beginning this year, the state is providing post- age-paid envelopes for mail-in ballots. However, ballots must be received by local election offices by 8 p.m. on election day – postmarks don’t count. For voters who prefer to drop off their ballots, there are only two locations: out- side Seaside City Hall, 989 Broadway, and outside the county offices at 820 Ex- 3 change St., Astoria. Ballots may be dropped off until 8 p.m. on election day. The COVID-19 pandem- ic has affected the access, hours and availability of indoor ballot drop boxes in the county, a representa- tive of the Clatsop County Elections Department ex- plained. Warrenton, Gearhart and Cannon Beach city halls, where people previously have dropped off ballots, are closed to the public.
