Primary ballots due Tuesday
Primary election ballots
are due Tuesday, May 19.
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.
