Ballots are delivered by the United States Postal Service, individual voters, or Montgomery County Sheriffs who collect ballots daily from secure drop boxes throughout the county. All Absentee & Mail-in ballots are timestamped upon arrival at the Voter Services Office in Norristown and the record of the voter who returned the ballot is updated to indicate they have returned their Absentee or Mail-in ballot. Ballots are stored in a secure area under 24 hour video surveillance until they are legally able to be processed beginning at 7 a.m. on Election Day.
