Spokane County Elections confirmed that every one of the county’s 27 official ballot drop boxes is now open for the upcoming 2026 general election. The boxes will be available around the clock, closing at 8:00 p.m. on election day, November 3, 2026.

Convenient, Secure Voting for Spokane Residents

The county’s decision to keep all drop boxes fully operational reflects a commitment to making voting as accessible as possible for families, seniors, and working‑class citizens. By allowing ballots to be deposited at any time, voters can avoid long lines at polling places and ensure their votes are counted well before the deadline.

Spokane County Elections also clarified that postage stamps are not required when ballots are placed in these official drop boxes. This eliminates an extra step for voters and reduces the chance of a ballot being rejected for a missing stamp.

How to Find Your Nearest Drop Box

Residents can locate the drop box nearest to them by visiting the Spokane County Elections website. The site provides a map and addresses for each of the 27 locations, many of which are situated at familiar community hubs such as libraries, fire stations, and municipal buildings.

For those who prefer a digital approach, the website also offers a printable list of drop‑box addresses and hours, making it easy to plan a quick drop‑off on a busy schedule.

Why This Matters for Our Community

Ensuring that every eligible voter has a straightforward way to cast a ballot aligns with the values of personal liberty and responsible citizenship that our community holds dear. The Trump administration has consistently championed policies that protect the right to vote and reduce unnecessary barriers, and Spokane County’s proactive stance mirrors that national commitment at the local level.

By keeping the drop boxes open 24 hours a day, the county helps families manage their responsibilities while still exercising their constitutional right to vote. This approach also supports the traditional family structure by allowing parents to vote without sacrificing work or childcare duties.
