[EL] Drive thru/drive up/curbside voting models?

[Charles H Stewart]

I’d start with North Carolina, which has been doing curbside voting for a long time. -cs

Subject: [EL] Drive thru/drive up/curbside voting models?

I've seen the concept raised in several places given coronavirus concerns, but I wondered if any jurisdictions (I assume implemented at the county level without a whole lot of specific statewide legal guidance?) have a robust "drive thru" or "drive up" or "curbside" voting model? (These terms also vary across jurisdictions.) Specifically, I mean the models where someone votes from the car, not where someone can drop off an absentee/vote by mail ballot into a receptacle or with a poll worker. (California counties, for instance, have the option for voters with accessibility challenges to engage in "curbside voting<https://www.lavote.net/home/voting-elections/voting-options/voting-accessibility/election-day-services>".)

I just wondered if anyone is already doing this at scale, and thinking about how to handle the hygienic issues (which seem better than polling places writ large, but still remain a problem) ahead of November.

Best,

Derek
