Voters who want to mail their ballots Tuesday need to make sure that they send them in time to get the Aug. 5 postmark.

That’s 5:15pm at either the North City post office or the postal station at the Spin Alley bowling alley on Northwest Richmond Beach Road. It’s 6pm at the Bitter Lake post office on North 145th Street.

Drop box at Lake Forest Park is open to 8pm Tuesday

Voters can leave their ballots for free until 8pm at the drop box at the Lake Forest Park City Hall or a drop-off van at the Shoreline/Aurora Square shopping center (Monday 10am-5pm, Tuesday 10am-8pm).
