Carbon County is emphasizing that its elections office has not yet relocated back to Susquehanna Street.

On Thursday, the board of commissioners reminded voters that the elections office is still located at 410 Center Ave. in Jim Thorpe and that ballots should be dropped off there and not at either 44 or 76 Susquehanna St.

Commissioner Chris Lukasevich also announced that there will also be extended hours in the elections office from Oct. 25-28 and then Nov. 1. The office will then be open from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. for voters to drop off ballots or conduct other business with the bureau.

The commissioners said people wishing to drop off ballots at the elections office should park in the parking lot and then call the bureau at 570-325-4801. Someone from the department will then provide further instruction since the steps to the front of the building are not always possible for some people. Options would include the side door to the building or an election employee coming out to the person’s vehicle to retrieve the ballot.

Reminder to voters using the mail-in ballot, they should:

• Read the instructions carefully.

• Fill out the ballot, being sure to follow instructions on how to mark selections.

• Seal the ballot in the inner secrecy envelope that indicates “Official Election Ballot.” Be careful not to make any stray marks on the envelope.

• Seal the secrecy envelope in the pre-addressed outer return envelope.

• Complete the voter’s declaration on the outer envelope by signing and writing the current date. For the ballot to be counted, it must be enclosed in both envelopes and the voter must sign and date the outer envelope.

In other election matters, the county is still looking for anyone who is interested in serving as a judge of elections in Bowmanstown and Weissport; as well as poll workers in Bowmanstown, Palmerton, Summit Hill and Weissport.

Residents do not need to live within the borough they would be serving in, but just need to be a Carbon County resident.
