SB683 requires a local board of elections to designate the locations of ballot drop boxes. It also requires for a permanent absentee ballot list.
The Maryland State Senate passed SB683 on April 2, 2021 by a vote of 32 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation compromises the integrity of our elections, opening the door to fraudulent behavior, which ultimately drives people to lose faith in the election process. We need to push back against measures like drop boxes and early voting.
