New Minnesota absentee ballot dropbox rules in place for 2021 municipal elections
Minnesota will have new security measures in place for absentee ballot drop boxes in the 2021 municipal elections.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Minnesota will have new security measures in place for absentee ballot drop boxes in the 2021 municipal elections.
Cities and counties must have video surveillance on 24-hour drop boxes, the boxes need to be bolted to a building or immovable object, and workers must remove ballots at least once per business day.
Until now, Minnesota had virtually no requirements for the drop boxes. That raised questions during the 2020 general election, when a record 1.9 million Minnesotans voted absentee, though no fraud related to drop boxes has been reported to the Secretary of State s office.

Above the din of conversation and faint whiffs of cigarette smoke inside Caravan Lounge in downtown San Jose, Billy Joel s Piano Man serenades customers spaced six feet apart underneath party lights at the bar. I still feel like we should sway, Amy Conners says, arms outstretched to her fellow patrons.
It s only a Wednesday, but Conners is in a celebrating mood, because this is the first night residents of Santa Clara County can gather inside bars without the pretext of dinner in more than a year. The South Bay moved into the yellow tier, California s least restrictive set of rules for the pandemic, following record low Covid-19 cases and increasing vaccination rates.
