Why 4/5: Directly impacts the process for counting provisional and absentee ballots in future elections, potentially affecting voter access and ballot validity.
This bill extends the deadline for voters to fix errors on absentee ballot applications and requires registrars to notify voters of provisional ballot errors, giving them until the Monday after the election to correct them. It also mandates the Department of Elections to issue uniform guidance for processing provisional ballots, including those cast by same-day registrants.
