Champaign’s Newest Host for Ballot Drop Box at Martens Center, Champaign

Photo: Champaign County Clerk Ammons cuts the ribbon for the newest county mail ballot drop box. Representative Carol Ammons and Champaign Park District staff join in. 

From the News Gazette story on November 15, 2023: "County Clerk and Recorder Aaron Ammons said this newest drop box in the parking lot of the Champaign Park District’s Martens Center at 1515 N. Market St. is one of three new locations he hopes to have in place in advance of next year’s primary elections, set for March 19."
....
"The new one at the Martens Center was relocated from the Douglass Center in north Champaign, and the new location will continue convenient access for voters in the area, Ammons said."
....
"Ammons continued to urge all voters who haven’t already signed up to receive a vote-by-mail ballot to do so, and described drop boxes as a secure and accessible option to placing those ballots in the mail."

Full story at the News Gazette. Or see this LWVCC announcement for a summary.
