Ballot drop boxes will be open until 8 p.m. Tuesday. (STEVE BLOOM/Staff photographer file, 2011)

Time is running short on ensuring that your vote counts.

Voters must drop their ballots in a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. Tuesday or make sure the envelope is postmarked no later than that day.

The Pierce County auditor’s office has drop boxes in 27 locations across the county.

It also staffs, in addition to the elections center at the Pierce County Annex, five voting centers where voters can obtain a replacement ballot or vote on a touch screen. The annex and voting centers are open from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. today and Tuesday.

Elections officials recommend that voters who mail their ballots do so no later than today to ensure the ballots aren’t postmarked too late.

More information is available at piercecountywa.org/elections. For help filling out your ballot, see The News Tribune’s voter guide at www.thenewstribune.com/elections.
