to make it more convenient.

On the positive side, doubt there are many people who can't get someone to drive them to a ballot collection box 5 miles away. I'm sure there are some, but not many. Maybe volunteers can offer to help people.

Depending where what state you live in, those few folks can likely mail in a ballot, recognizing there might be a small risk it doesn't arrive.
