A county in California said it had relocated a number of ballot drop-offs to give voters more opportunities to post their votes ahead of the November 3 election.
One voter, Stan Gungl, told Action News Now:"I went to city hall to drop off our ballots for my wife and I. When I got there, there was a sign on the door saying that you could only get in the building by appointment only. I think this is wrong in so many ways. To deny people access to a voting box."
Keaton Denlay, Manager of Butte County Elections, told the news site:"You don't need an appointment to drop off a vote by mail ballot. Some of the local city halls because of Covid restrictions, they have their own procedures in place, so we're working with city halls really closely to finding new alternatives for replacing those drop boxes.
"For example, [in the] city of Chico, we're going to be moving that dropbox outside, so it won't be impacted by the Covid regulations." The county is expecting a high turnout on November 3, reflecting the fact that there are both presidential and local elections.This one is outside the Hall of Records in Oroville.
