New or altered state laws are changing how Americans will vote, tally ballots, and administer and certify November ’s election.

In Georgia , election workers will have to hand count the number of ballots cast after voting is completed.

In North Carolina , some students and university staff can use their digital IDs to vote.

In Wisconsin , ballot drop boxes are newly legal again, although not every voting jurisdiction will use them.

This is the first presidential election since Florida ’s Republican -controlled Legislature made a series of changes to mail balloting in 2021 .

Pennsylvania state Supreme Court threw out a case on a technicality after a lower court had ruled that rejecting mail-in ballots for “meaningless and inconsequential paperwork errors” — such as a missing handwritten date — violates the constitutional right to vote.
