Bill > SB350

This bill amends and reenacts provisions of Louisiana law related to the handling and processing of absentee by mail and early voting ballots. Key changes include: - Allowing challenges to absentee by mail ballots if the affidavit flap is missing required voter information, which will result in the ballot being deemed challenged and not counted unless the missing information is cured. - Establishing procedures for the board to hear and determine the validity of challenged ballots, including notifying voters in writing of any challenges and the reasons. - Requiring the Secretary of State to adopt rules to implement these changes, including standardizing the challenge process and pre-printing certain information on absentee ballot affidavit flaps. - Expanding the grounds for challenges to absentee by mail and early voting ballots beyond the previous provisions. Overall, the bill aims to establish clearer processes and procedures around the handling and counting of absentee and early voting ballots, with a focus on addressing any missing or incomplete voter information on the ballot affidavits.
