As you can imagine, an address for Mesa County Fairgrounds will only get you so far. My experience doing this in WA is that many counties can have data that puts boxes 10, 30, or 1000+ meters away from their true location... So I'm trying to keep things pretty tight for now.

I looked at their info and unfortunately, it's only roughly geocoded, their entry for the library earlier in the thread points you at the building center and not the east side. Maybe not an issue for this specific box but many will end up difficult to find without more precise hassling.

A snippet of a map showing a library building outline with a green ballot box indicator at the center of the building.

Ah! That is a Voter Service Polling Center (VSPC) with an inventive drop off system. I'll have to figure out how to best encode that into OpenStreetMap lingo and get the hours added etc. I had been focusing on physical drop boxes as they are easier to "confirm".

I think this should be the location of the Ross drop box and should show up on the map: www.openstreetmap.org/node/1218328... The streetside and aerial imagery I have doesn't show a box at that church. If there is one, can you send me a picture and/or description? Happy to get it added!

I have a project to get all of the Colorado ballot drop boxes into an accessible map. I've managed to chase down ~350 across most counties would love to work with folks in CO to get the rest mapped. Details in the thread. Live map: overpass-ultra.us#run&query=gi...#opendata#elections

A map of Colorado with blue markers for ballot boxes. The clustering roughly follows the expected population map for the state, heavy in the big cities and sparse out in the plains and mountains.
