Republican lawmakers are still pursuing efforts to restrict the use of ballot drop boxes in elections. The plans emerged Friday from negotiations between the House and Senate over proposals to tighten state election laws. The Senate approved the proposal on ballot drop boxes, but the House did not take it up before lawmakers adjourned early Saturday for their annual, three-week spring break.

The vote in the Senate on the ballot drop box measure was 21-17.
