Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the acceptance, offer, or provision of consideration to a mail-in ballot messenger or bearer. Under current law, messengers are authorized through an application process to deliver blank mail-in ballots to qualified voters who are either family members or residents of the same county. Once a ballot is completed by a voter, a bearer may deliver a limited number of voter ballots from voters back to the county board of elections, to a ballot drop box, or to a regular mailbox. Under this bill, no person who serves as an authorized messenger or as a bearer will be permitted to accept consideration of any sort. No person will be permitted to offer or give consideration of any sort to an authorized messenger or bearer. Consideration means, but is not limited to, cash or the purchase of goods, services, or intangible property.
