Bill > HR8754

This bill, the Dropbox Access Act of 2020, requires states to provide a minimum number of in-person, secured drop boxes in each county where individuals can drop off their voted absentee ballots for federal elections. The bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to mandate that states make these drop boxes available for a minimum period of 45 days before the election, and ensure they are accessible for individuals with disabilities. The number of drop boxes required is based on the voting age population of the county, and they must be placed in a way that provides maximum accessibility without regard to factors like race, age, or disability status. The bill also specifies that the drop boxes must be located in urban, suburban, rural, and tribal areas within the county.
