AB 560 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: prohibiting the use of absentee ballot drop boxes for any election.

AB 560 prohibits municipalities from using physical drop boxes or other physical receptacles to collect voted absentee ballots in any election. Instead, the bill requires all absentee ballots to be returned exclusively by mail. This directly affects local governments that currently operate drop boxes for voter convenience. The law would eliminate a common method for returning absentee ballots, requiring voters to mail their completed ballots instead.
