Permits county board of elections to open certain ballot drop boxes for fire district elections.

This bill requires county election boards to retrieve mail-in ballots from ballot drop boxes at least once per week during fire district elections. Fire district elections are local elections held to choose members of fire district boards, and this change ensures ballots for these elections are processed promptly. The bill does not alter existing rules for ballot drop box locations, security, or accessibility, which apply to all elections. It specifically adds a weekly retrieval requirement for fire district elections to improve ballot handling in these local contests.
