Find permanent spot for ballot box

To whoever set up the ballot location in Marysville, thanks for your poor planning. I attempted to locate the ballot drop-off point on Tuesday evening and I found it almost impossible to locate it and drop off my ballot. Once again, it has been moved to a new location.

I was lined up with numerous cars in a parking lot after I actually found the poorly planned location. I do not want to put stamps on these envelopes but it looks like this is what they want us to do. Let’s put it in one place and leave it there, then put a sign on the roadside that says “Ballot box location” or “Vote here.” It is that simple. Let us know a few days ahead of time and I will go there and drop off my ballot. This is poor planning and there is no excuse. Whoever planned this one dropped the ball.
