Ballot harvesting
TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Jun 2026
Ballot harvesting, also known as ballot collecting, is the gathering and submission of completed absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers, or workers rather than directly by the voters themselves. While proponents argue that the practice increases voter turnout and enfranchises individuals with limited mobility, critics raise concerns regarding potential election fraud and security risks, leading to varying state-level regulations and restrictions across the United States.
