Illinois Ballot Harvesting Laws
Please see ballotpedia.org for current information
Illinois law allows vote-by-mail ballots to be delivered in person by any person the voter authorizes or by a company licensed as a motor carrier of property by the state. In the case of voters who
are physically incapacitated or hospitalized, an employee of the facility the voter is in may place the ballot in the mail. Illinois law states the voter must do a series of steps in sealing their absentee ballot in the return envelope.
Illinois law also contains a section for absentee voting by individuals who have been “admitted to a hospital, nursing home, or rehabilitation center due to an illness or physical injury not more than 14 days before an election.” Such voters may have anyone registered to vote in the same precinct as them or a legal relative to obtain and return their mail ballot.

South Dakota law states that an authorized messenger may deliver a voter’s absentee ballot and that a messenger for more than one voter must notify the person in charge of the election of all voters they are the messenger for.
“An authorized messenger shall deliver the absentee ballot to the person in charge of the election unless there is not sufficient time for the person in charge of the election to transmit the absentee ballot to the voter’s home precinct. In that instance, the authorized messenger shall personally deliver the absentee ballot to the precinct superintendent of the voter’s home precinct. If the authorized messenger requests a receipt when returning the absentee ballot, the person in charge of the election shall provide the authorized messenger a receipt.”
State law further says, “If a person is an authorized messenger for more than one voter, he must notify the person in charge of the election of all voters for whom he is a messenger.
