Bill > SB0017

This bill makes several changes to Utah's voting and voter residency laws: 1. It clarifies the definition of a "covered voter" who is eligible to vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, including specific criteria for foreign U.S. citizens. 2. It allows covered voters who are foreign U.S. citizens to only vote in federal elections and only for federal offices. 3. It establishes rules for where such covered voters should register and vote based on their last U.S. residence or their parent/guardian's last U.S. residence. 4. It updates various procedures related to voter registration, ballot transmission, and use of federal voting forms for covered voters who are absent from the U.S. on election day. 5. It repeals the section that previously provided the title of the chapter containing these provisions. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and update Utah's laws to align with federal requirements for military, overseas, and other eligible U.S. citizens voting from abroad.
