Dropbox Access Act requires states to provide secured drop boxes for absentee ballots in federal elections.
The Dropbox Access Act amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to mandate states to establish secured drop boxes for absentee ballots in federal elections. Each state must ensure these drop boxes are accessible to all voters, including those with disabilities and limited English proficiency. The number of drop boxes in a county depends on the number of registered voters, with larger counties needing more. States must also consult with tribal leaders for drop boxes on tribal lands. The drop boxes must be available 45 days before an election and remain open until polls close.
