Drop box use surged amid fears of Postal Service reliability

OLYMPIA — An electorate excited to participate and concerned with the reliability of the Postal Service fueled a huge surge in the use of drop boxes for the November presidential election.

Across the state, a whopping 72.5% of ballots were returned through county-designated drop boxes, up from 57% in the 2016 election, according to data compiled by the Secretary of State’s Office.

Snohomish County collected 75% of ballots from its 30 boxes, an improvement over the last presidential contest, when 65% used them.

Secretary of State Kim Wyman attributed the increased usage in part to people simply wanting to vote early. Typically, about half the ballots arrive by election week. But this year was unprecedented, with roughly 80% coming in early, she said.
