In order to make voting easier, the Champaign County Clerk’s office has set up actual ballot boxes for voters to return their mail in/absentee ballots.
With all of the anxiety around voting in person (COVID-19) and returning your mail in ballot by mail (USPS under attack by the right), you can simply drop off your ballot to one of five locations in C-U:
- Brookens Adminstration Building
- Urbana Free Library
- Champaign Public Library
- Douglass Branch Library
- University of Illinois Quad, northwest corner

Ballots still need to be properly completed and signed, and must be returned by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3rd (election day). You can request your mail in ballot here. Register to vote here.
Ballot boxes are secure and open 24/7.
