Wasco County utilizes ballot drop boxes, and they are almost all at governmental buildings to help ensure security. The boxes are at city halls in Mosier, Dufur, and Maupin along with at the Wasco County Courthouse in The Dalles, plus on the Warm Springs Reservation at Simasho. County Clerk Lisa Gambee says they have additional security measures in place for those boxes, but adds their locations have the advantage of being spots where there is naturally a high level of traffic. Gambee says they have noticed the boxes being used more and more worried that the post office won’t get their ballots to the election offices, with some even bringing them directly to the County Clerk’s office by hand.
