Fresno County voters can turn in their Nov. 6 ballots fast-food style on Election Day at any of nine drive-throughs.

County elections officials say that with more people opting to receive their ballots in the mail, the pilot program was designed to allow voters to turn in those ballots in a convenient manner.

The sites will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and are "expected to help ease and reduce the problems voters experience finding parking and having to wait in lines when returning their ballots to polling places," county Clerk Brandi Orth said.

There will be at least one drive-through site in each of the supervisorial districts:

Clovis: Clovis Veterans Memorial District, 808 Fourth St. (at Hughes Avenue).

Coalinga: St. Paul's Church, 637 Sunset St. (at Jefferson Street).

Easton: Easton Presbyterian Church, 5895 S. Elm Ave. (just north of Lincoln Avenue).

Downtown Fresno: Fresno County Clerk's Office, 2221 Kern St.

Northwest Fresno: Sequoia Council Boy Scouts of America, 6005 N. Tamera Ave. (just south of the Bullard Avenue/Figarden Drive loop).

Southeast Fresno: First Church of the Nazarene, 6758 E. Butler Ave. (between Armstrong and Temperance avenues).

Southeast Fresno: St. Anthony Mary Claret Church, 2494 S. Chestnut Ave. (between Jensen and Church avenues).

Orange Cove: Fresno County Library, 815 Park Blvd. (at Railroad Avenue).

Sanger: California Department of Forestry, 210 S. Academy Ave. (south of Highway 180).
