WI appeals court has reinstated absentee ballot drop boxes for Feb 15 election

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/01/24/appeals-court-reinstates-absentee-ballot-drop-boxes-feb-15-vote/6636010001/

MADISON – An appeals court blocked a lower-court order Monday and ruled absentee ballot drop boxes can be used in the Feb. 15 primary.

The District 4 Court of Appeals issued its unanimous order a day before election clerks were scheduled to send voters absentee ballots in the race for Milwaukee mayor and other local contests in Wisconsin.

Monday's decision affects only the Feb. 15 primary. The appeals court will decide later what rules will be in place for elections after that.

The case, which could eventually get to the state Supreme Court, is being closely watched because it will determine how voters can return ballots in the fall election for U.S. Senate and governor, as well as the 2024 election for president.
