New options for voting in November

With diminished confidence in the post office, election officials are rethinking how to proceed in November.

Jim Shalleck, President of the Montgomery County Board of Elections, told FOX 5's Lindsay Watts that the county has requested 40 ballot drop boxes for early voting and polling places.

There will be three dozen voting centers open in the county for the election.

Polls will begin opening October 26th which would be about a week before Election Day.
