AI Summary
This bill, known as the Dropbox Access Act, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require states to provide secure, in-person drop boxes in each county where individuals can drop off their voted absentee ballots for federal elections. The bill specifies that these drop boxes must be accessible to individuals with disabilities and limited English proficiency, and must be available for a minimum of 45 days before the election until the polls close on election day. The number of drop boxes required is based on the county's registered voter population, with at least one drop box per county. The state must determine the location of these drop boxes based on criteria such as non-discrimination, accessibility, and availability in rural and tribal areas.
