Relates to ballot drop boxes for absentee and early voting ballots
This bill clarifies and standardizes procedures for absentee and early voting ballot drop boxes. It defines key terms like "ballot drop box" and "drop-off location" and authorizes county and city election boards to establish these secure locations. Boards must post all drop-off locations on their websites and follow state rules for security, labeling, and chain of custody. Voters can deposit marked ballots in these boxes before election day polls close, and ballots received this way are counted as timely. The changes implement technical updates to existing election law, building on prior authorization from bills S.610 and A.7243.
