Starting now, hand-deliver your mail-in ballot

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3 (!) – and among other things, that means if you haven’t yet sent in your mail-in ballot, the Travis County clerk says you should plan on hand-delivering it instead. With only five days to go until the election, if you mail the ballot, there may not be time to ensure it will be processed and counted. So bring your completed ballot to 5501 Airport Blvd. The hand-delivery drop-off site is open every day between now and Election Day. The hours are Fri.-Sat., 7 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sunday, noon-6 p.m.; Monday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Tuesday, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Oh, and another reminder: You may only hand-deliver your own personal ballot and not your spouse’s, friend’s, neighbor’s or dog walker’s ballot.
