American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Ballot Security Act
This bill requires the District of Columbia to meet specific security standards for mail-in ballot drop boxes used in DC elections. It mandates that drop boxes must be located inside DC government buildings, equipped with 24-hour electronic surveillance, and have ballots collected daily after 5:00 p.m. during election periods. These rules apply to all DC elections, including federal races and ballot initiatives. The bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to add these requirements for DC ballot security.
