Drop your ballot and party

Just because we've gone to mail-in voting doesn't mean we can't have the polling party experience.

Tonight, from 4 to 8 p.m., the Department of Neighborhoods is holding an election night open house at the Ballard Neighborhood Service Center (5604 22nd Ave NW).

You can drop off your ballot until 8 p.m., enjoy refreshments and hobnob with your neighbors. Maybe they'll even have some of those cool "I voted" stickers!

Here's a pic of the sticker I'm talking about from Flickr, courtesy of ?o??ƒx™. Seriously. That's the name.
