Ballot box



The Ballot Box appears in Fallout 3 and can be found inside the Capitol Building within the Republic of Dave. When the Republic is discovered by the Lone Wanderer, it is election time in the Republic and residents will cast their votes into this box.

The box is locked and can not be picked, nor is there a key that unlocks it. Dave possesses the only key and does not appear in his inventory when killed or pick-pocketed. The only way to gain access to this box is to wait for Dave to open it during Election Day and for the Lone Wanderer to quickly access it before the ballots are counted.

The Ballot Box serves no other purpose in the game except during the events of Election Day.

There are some codes that suggest that the ballot box originally had some set animation types different than that of a normal ammunition box (un-verified except from beta)
