Are official ballot return drop boxes secure?

Yes, official drop boxes are a secure, convenient way for voters to return their ballot.

 

Ballot drop boxes are secured with custom locks and tamper-evident seals. Ballots are collected on a regular basis.

 

Ballot pick-up from the drop boxes is performed by no less than two employees. Ballots are transported directly to the election processing facility in sealed containers. A chain of custody log is maintained throughout the entire process.
