Bill > HB202

This bill prohibits a local board of elections from removing an absentee ballot from its return envelope or counting the ballot unless the envelope is signed by the voter and, except for active duty uniformed services members serving overseas or their overseas spouses/dependents, a witness. The bill also requires the local board to verify the voter's signature on the return envelope in accordance with regulations adopted by the State Board. The key provisions of this bill are aimed at adding signature requirements and verification for absentee ballots to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
