A few states require designated agents to sign a document confirming they have the authority to deliver someone's ballot.
And a few states explicitly prohibit dropping off someone else's ballot. Other states don't have laws on ballot collection at all.
In total, more than half of states have laws that explicitly allow a third party to return a completed ballot, according toLaws allowing ballot collection are designed to make voting more convenient, and to make it possible for people who can't travel to deliver a ballot on their own. Political groups and campaigns from both parties have run ballot-collection programs with the goal of boosting turnout and helping older, homebound, disabled or rural voters get their ballots returned.
However, in 2020, when the use of drop boxes spiked because of the coronavirus pandemic, some criticized the practice. Former President Donald Trump and others argued that ballot collection, often pejoratively called "ballot harvesting," increased the risk that someone would try to illegally vote on someone else's behalf or coerce them to vote a certain way.
