A proposal under consideration Wednesday in the Kansas Senate would cut the number of drop boxes statewide by more than 40% from the 2020 elections. The proposal likely would include small towns on the outskirts of more populated places and some villages dotting rural vistas.
Nineteen counties with fewer than 5,000 registered voters had two more more boxes in 2020. Under the bill, 48 of the state's counties would have to cut back on their drop boxes. They would lose 80 of the 191 boxes deployed two years ago during the pandemic.
