What is a typical number of such boxes?

In a US election, the number of "boxes" that would be needed is
usually more than 20 and can be as many as 50.  Not just politicians
but also judges, sheriffs, and ballot questions like whether to build
a new school in a given location, all get voted on.

Do you really want to fill out 50 separate pieces of paper in a voting
booth, and then make sure to deposit each one in its own correct
separate box?
