The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled ballot drop boxes couldn't be used in next month's election, but Milwaukee is keeping them in place.Milwaukee election officials said they have found a way to let voters continue to drive up and drop off their ballots by temporarily turning early voting sites into extensions of the elections office.Absentee voters won't be able to use 24-hour ballot drop boxes for the April 5 election after the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld a Waukesha judge's ruling last month banning them.But Milwaukee election officials have found a way to keep the drop boxes as an option for voters."We will have additional staff with staffed drop boxes, for curbside pickup," Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall-Vogg said.Drive-up ballot drop boxes will be open on two Saturdays ahead of the April 5 election, at nine early voting sites around the city."What allows you to do that?" WISN 12's Kent Wainscott asked."So the judge in Waukesha did say that he believes that we can extend the clerk's office, or in my case the elections commission office, to our in-person absentee voting sites," Woodall-Vogg said."Having those drop boxes available is huge. It's huge," said the Rev. Greg Lewisz, of Souls to the Polls.Souls to the Polls had pushed for more voter options, and praised Woodall-Vogg for making it happen."We have to give her kudos for that. For making it easier for folks to come out and vote," Lewis said.Drop boxes became popular in 2020 during the pandemic but have been controversial. The conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty helped lead the legal challenge that resulted in the court order banning them. That group did not respond to WISN 12 request for comment on Tuesday. But Woodall-Vogg said she doesn't expect any legal challenge to the new drop box plan."How confident are you that this holds up in court?" Wainscott asked."I'm very confident. The judge was very specific that in-person absentee sites are allowable sites for staffed drop boxes, and that's exactly what we're doing," Woodall-Vogg said. "We want to play it safe. We would never put anyone's ballots at risk.Unlike in recent elections, these will not be 24-hour ballot drop boxes. People can drop off absentee ballots in-person at any of the nine early voting sites during the hours they are open.But the drive-up ballot drop-off option, which a lot of seniors and people with disabilities have used, is only going to be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 26 and April 2. Early voting for the April 5 spring election begins Tuesday, March 22. It runs through Saturday, April 2.Voters can request an absentee ballot as late as five days before Election Day.Early voting locations:Midtown, 5700 W. Capitol Dr.Zablocki, 3501 W.
