Dropbox Access Act

This bill would change the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require every state to provide secured, clearly labeled drop boxes in each county where voters can drop off completed absentee ballots in federal elections. The drop boxes would have to be available starting 45 days before the election until polls close. Counties with 20,000 or more registered voters would need at least one drop box for every 20,000 registered voters, and all other counties would need at least one. Drop boxes would have to be accessible to people with disabilities and people with limited English, available at all hours, and placed in all communities, including rural areas and Tribal lands after consulting Tribal leaders. States would also have to post the rules ballots must meet to be counted at each drop box.
