Bill > H683

This bill aims to expand voter access through absentee and mail ballots. It allows voters to designate themselves as "absentee mail voters" and requires the city or town clerk to automatically send an official absent voting ballot to these voters at least 28 days before every primary, preliminary election, or election. The bill also removes certain requirements related to physical disability and absence from the city or town on the election day, making it easier for voters to cast their ballots by mail. The state secretary is required to promulgate regulations to implement these changes, which will take effect on January 1, 2021.
