A Florida Senate committee approved a reworked elections bill that would ban drop boxes used for mail-in ballots.

The panel on March 10 voted 4–2 to approve the proposal, known as Committee Substitute Senate Bill 90, which would—among other initiatives—prohibit an immediate family member from picking up a voter’s ballot. It would also require vote-by-mail ballots to be requested during each election cycle instead of every two election cycles.
