Bill > SB1362

This bill allows for the on-site tabulation of early ballots at polling places or voting centers on election day. It requires the county recorder or other election official to designate a separate area for processing early ballots, provide necessary staff and equipment, and report the early ballot tallies separately from the election day votes. The bill also establishes a procedure for voters to present their early ballot, have their identity verified, and have their ballot tabulated on-site, rather than depositing it in a drop box. This provides voters an option to have their early ballot counted immediately rather than waiting for the canvassing process after election day.
