AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Election Law to allow active duty military members and merchant marine members who are absent from the United States to electronically return their voted ballots to their local city or township clerk, starting no later than the 2024 statewide presidential primary election. The bill requires the use of a U.S. Department of Defense-verified electronic signature to verify the identity of the voter, and directs the Secretary of State to promulgate rules to ensure the integrity and secrecy of the electronically returned ballots. The bill also provides deadlines and reporting requirements for clerks to ensure timely delivery of absent voter ballots to military and overseas voters.
