Bill > A3849

Introduced Session

The bill allows voters to submit an application to vote by mail using an electronic mail-in ballot application form through a website maintained by the Secretary of State up to seven days before election. Under the bill, in addition to offering paper mail-in ballot applications, the Secretary of State must provide mail-in ballot applications electronically through a secure website maintained by the secretary. The bill provides that if an applicant submits an electronic mail-in ballot application, the application would be signed by the applicant using the applicant's electronic signature in the Statewide Voter Registration System and electronically submitted to the appropriate county clerk. The bill provides that the electronic mail-in ballot application form must contain substantively the same information that is contained on a paper mail-in ballot application. The bill also provides that if a voter opted to receive mail-in ballots in all future elections, a voter may stop receiving such mail-in ballots if the voter submits a mail-in ballot application form without selecting the option to vote by mail in all future elections.
