Dropbox Access Act
HR 10032, the Dropbox Access Act, requires states to provide in-person, secured drop boxes for voted absentee ballots in all federal elections starting in 2025. Each county must have drop boxes accessible 45 days before an election until polls close, with the number based on registered voters (at least one per 20,000 voters in larger counties). The bill mandates accessibility for voters with disabilities and limited English proficiency, requires non-discriminatory placement considering public transportation and rural/Tribal areas, and specifies clear labeling and ballot requirements at each drop box. It amends the Help America Vote Act to implement these changes, effective for the 2025 general election.
