The bipartisan\u200d Wisconsin Elections Commission \u2062has approved guidelines for the secure operation of \u2062unstaffed absentee ballot drop boxes. This decision comes after a\u200d recent ruling by the state Supreme Court allowing drop boxes \u200bto be widely used for the upcoming elections. Wisconsin is expected \u2064to be a crucial swing state in the upcoming election, with both parties now embracing the use of drop boxes. \u2064The\u200b approved best practices aim to ensure the safety and accessibility of drop boxes and encourage regular maintenance\u2064 and documentation\u2064 of ballot retrieval. These guidelines are not mandatory but serve as recommendations for local election officials<\/a>. The commission chose not to implement an emergency rule, following the court’s decision, allowing unstaffed\u200c drop boxes in all elections. <\/p>\n
