Reykjavik to give away more than 100 old ballot boxes

Reykjavik will give away more than 100 wooden ballot boxes that have been used for decades, mbl.is reports.

The boxes will be available to the public from 1pm on Monday, November 16, at Knarrarvogur 2 in Reykjavik. Each person may take one, and they will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.

The city says new plastic boxes have replaced the old ones. The newer boxes are lighter and easier to handle, while the wooden boxes vary in appearance and are said to be in good condition.

The old boxes could be used for school student council elections, as props in a play, or kept as a piece of election history.
