I admit I wonder about the security of the drop boxes but my husband and I are old with multiple risk factors for COVID. I would go in person if there were no other way but want to avoid risk if I can.

I usually take my ballot to the drop box because it is extremely convenient. Also, a few years ago when I forgot to sign the external envelope, they got it back to me the next day with the request that I sign it.

I can't speak to the safety or security or speed in other districts or counties, but where I live, it's completely without any problems.

I figure that is more secure. Not one I know of within walking distance, but closest drop box is a short drive. It's by the County Courthouse. That should be secure.
