Voters drop off ballots around Allegheny County in a steady stream
Many Allegheny County voters took advantage of the general election’s ballot drop-off points that were open Sunday for mail-in ballots.
Despite the Steelers-Browns football game at Heinz Field, a steady stream of civic-minded people exercised their right to vote before Nov. 3.
Brian Sammon, of Oakland, was waiting in line for an elevator to the sixth floor of the Allegheny County Office Building on Forbes Avenue, where he was going to get a mail-in ballot.
“I vote with a lot of Pitt students, so every election year it is a least a two-hour wait to vote on polling day,” he said.
For that reason, he decided to get his ballot, fill it out, and drop it off Sunday.
With two windows open, lines were moving quickly for those voters who were just dropping off the ballots.
Ballot collectors were making sure that the outside envelopes had been signed. Once ballots were turned in, voters received the coveted “I Voted” sticker.
