AI Summary
This bill extends the requirement for county elections officials to mail a ballot to every registered voter to all elections, including local elections. It also requires the use of a vote by mail tracking system that is accessible to voters with disabilities. The bill allows any voter to cast a ballot using a certified remote accessible vote by mail system, and changes the deadline for a vote by mail ballot to be received by the elections official from 3 days to 7 days after election day. Additionally, the bill requires counties that do not conduct all-mail ballot elections to provide a minimum number of vote by mail ballot drop-off locations. It also authorizes earlier processing of vote by mail ballots by jurisdictions with the necessary computer capability. Finally, the bill provides for state reimbursement of any state-mandated local program costs.
