The legislation enacts a host of changes, including limits on where drop boxes could be placed, restrictions on who can drop off a voter& #39;s ballot, a mandate that drop boxes be staffed while open, and a requirement that voters must request to vote-by-mail more frequently.
The new laws go into effect immediately, in time for local elections, the forthcoming special House election to replace the late Rep. Alcee Hastings and next year& #39;s midterms, which will include elections for governor and the US Senate.
