Democracy, Delivered

In Oregon, people can vote by mail. But if you can't find a stamp – or you just don't want to mail in your ballot – you can take it to any number of drop boxes around your community. But the question is WHERE ARE THEY? Well, now you can find out.

Thanks to Oregon government's open data policies, a couple folks over here at the Bus Project Foundation decided to make this handy-dandy ballot drop box locator. With public info from the Oregon Secretary of State and a bunch of county elections offices, Overlapping (aka Jeremy Sher) and Mojowen (aka Scott Duncombe) put this thing together. Thanks to them for making it and thanks to YOU for voting.
