When are ballots that are dropped off at official "drop boxes" opened? Are e better off to mail to get the count or to drop off at officials sites?

hi katherine - here's what it says on the San Mateo County election website regarding the counting of mailed ballots: "Vote by Mail ballots are processed as they are received in the mail or picked up from the ballot drop boxes. The earlier a ballot is mailed or placed into a drop box increases the likelihood that it will be included in the Election Night posted result counts." Web Link
