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.
