election office

Ballot administration center

An election office is a government facility that administers voting and electoral processes for a jurisdiction.

Election offices handle voter registration, maintain voter rolls, organize polling locations, process absentee and mail-in ballots, and certify results.

The term may refer to the physical location or the administrative body itself: Contact your local election office to request a ballot.
