Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to certain procedures for voters to vote a limited ballot in a new county of residence.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Election Code to expand the options for voters who need to submit a statement when voting a limited ballot in a new county of residence. Currently, voters must submit their statement at the main early voting polling place, but the bill allows voters to submit this statement at any early voting polling place designated by the county for limited ballot submission. A limited ballot is typically used by voters who have moved to a new county but may still be eligible to vote in certain races from their previous county of residence. The change provides more flexibility for voters by allowing them to submit their statement at multiple polling places during early voting, rather than being restricted to a single main polling place. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving election officials time to prepare for the new procedure.
