Ballot Drop Boxes

You can return your ballot by mail, or you can drop off your completed, voted ballot at one of the 58 official Montgomery County Board of Elections drop boxes. Simply place your completed ballot in the return envelope, sign the oath on the return envelope, seal the return envelope, and take your ballot to a drop box. Drop boxes will be available from Saturday, May 9, 2026 through 8 PM Tuesday, June 23. Please make sure your oath is signed on the return envelope or the ballot will not count. Ballot drop boxes are under 24/7 video surveillance. Ballots are retrieved from drop boxes daily by bipartisan election teams. The drop boxes are not the property of the United States Postal Service.

For the location and availability of a nearby drop box and/or post office, text BOX + your location's Zip Code to 77788 (Example: BOX 20879). If you have any questions, please contact the Montgomery County Board of Elections at 240-777-8500.
