Assembly Bill 560 seeks to amend current election laws in Wisconsin by prohibiting municipalities from using absentee ballot drop boxes for any election. The bill specifically creates a new statute, 6.87 (4) (b) 1m., which states that the only acceptable method for returning voted absentee ballots is through mail. This legislative change comes in response to a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in Priorities USA v. Wis. Elections Commission, which interpreted existing law as allowing the use of drop boxes.

The bill aims to ensure that absentee ballots are returned solely by mail, eliminating the option of using physical receptacles for ballot collection. This change reflects a shift in the handling of absentee voting procedures in Wisconsin, emphasizing a more traditional method of ballot return.
