Montgomery County Ballot Drop Boxes Ready for Election

In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, officials have made ballot drop boxes available for the upcoming general election, with one located at the Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr, accessible 24/7. Meanwhile, in Luzerne County, County Manager Romilda Crocamo initially refused the deployment of drop boxes due to safety concerns but reversed her decision following legal pressure and a directive from the Pennsylvania Attorney General affirming the election board's authority. Despite this reversal, a lawsuit by the ACLU seeking clarification on the authority over drop boxes remains unresolved, as they argue the issue could recur without a court decision. Luzerne County is also preparing for mail-in voting, with ballots being sent out and an expected 32,500 mail ballot requests approved. Voters can return their ballots via mail or deliver them to the election bureau, though ongoing litigation may affect drop box availability. The county's election director emphasizes precise adherence to ballot instructions to ensure votes are counted.
