*Help ALA Track Libraries as Ballot Drop-Off Locations/Voting Locations* The American Library Association is tracking libraries as voting locations in states where it is eligible, as well as, where they are serving as ballot drop-off locations or early and/or election day voting/polling locations.
The goal of this information gathering is to capture, as best as possible, the number of libraries serving this role in the 2020 general election, and as a benchmark for potential expansion in future elections. If your library is serving as a voting location, please visit the ‘Libraries as Locations for Ballot Drop-Boxes and/or In-Person Voting <http://www.ala.org/aboutala/libraries-locations-ballot-drop-boxes-andor-person-voting>’ webpage to see if your library is listed. If you do not see your library listed, we would appreciate someone from your library completing this form <https://airtable.com/shrLC4OdtnNt0umJC> to add your library and the number of voting locations. *Instructions for completing the submission form:* - For the website we are tracking ballot drop-off locations and on-site polling locations separately. If your library is both a ballot drop-off location and an in-person polling location list it in the form in each appropriate field. *Please include the library system* for each library. - If your library is both an early voting/polling location and an election day voting/polling location, count that as one location, not two. - We are not capturing early voting/polling locations and election day voting/polling locations separately during this part of the information collection effort. We know in some states it is only early voting/polling and in some states only election day voting/polling and in some both. If you see that the information on your library needs to be updated, or have clarification questions about inputting your information, please contact Mariel Colbert at [email protected] directly. Apologies for the lengthy email and thanks to the ALA Chapters for all of your assistance. *This website is primarily for internal library community audience. It is not intended for the public as a location to find days and hours of voting opportunities. * Thank you, Michael Michael Dowling Director International and Chapter Relations Offices American Library Association 225 N Michigan Ave Suite 1300 Chicago, IL 60601 p +1 800-545-2433 ext 3200 http://www.ala.org/iro
