The new quarters of the Linn County Clerk’s Office could not be more convenient for people going past just outside on the Dave Clark Riverfront Path. On Monday I got off the bike and stopped in.

An election reminder off the riverfront path

In case you forgot or didn’t get the news at the time, the Linn County Clerk’s Office moved out of the courthouse. The office is now in the Wheelhouse Building on the Albany riverfront, as the ballot drop box outside reminds me every time I pass it on the Dave Clark Riverfront Path.

The Linn County Clerk’s Office is making its long-awaited move to the Wheelhouse Building on the Albany Riverfront. On a bike ride Wednesday afternoon, I stopped in and saw that the office is already in operation there.

If you have business with the Linn County clerk this fall, regarding either elections or records, you’ll have to go to the Wheelhouse Building on the Albany riverfront instead of the courthouse downtown.

The walls of Steve Duckenmiller’s office in the Linn County Courthouse stir up a lot of memories of many years of local politics and national events as well.

About ballots mailed too late to be counted

One thing Albany-area voters don’t have to worry much about is that in our elections, a whole bunch of votes are discarded because they are sent off too late or get hung up in the mail. The number of such ballots turns out to be small.
