HUGE NEWS: Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules Ballot Dropboxes Are to Remain Banned in the April 2022 Election
Ballot boxes in Wisconsin are to remain banned in the upcoming April primary elections in the state. The Wisconsin Supreme Court voted Friday to keep these ballot boxes banned for the upcoming election.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) issued memos to Wisconsin clerks in March and August of 2020 encouraging their use, stating that absentee ballots do not need to be mailed by the voter or delivered by the voter, in person, to the municipal clerk but instead could be dropped into a dropbox. According to WEC, ballot drop boxes can be unstaffed, temporary, or permanent.

This contradicted the Wisconsin Constitution requirements. But her case was eventually dismissed without comment by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
