Bill > A00330

This bill modifies the existing election law regarding the timing of voter enrollment changes, specifically focusing on changes submitted after February 14th and before or within seven days after the June primary. Currently, such changes take effect on the seventh day after the June primary, but the bill introduces a new provision related to postmark dates from the United States Post Office. Under the proposed change, if a voter's change of enrollment form has a postmark dated after February 14th, or if the envelope containing the form shows such a postmark, the change will take effect on the seventh day after the June primary. Additionally, if the envelope does not show a postmark or lacks a clear United States Post Office cancellation mark, the same delayed effect will apply. This modification aims to provide more clarity and flexibility for voters seeking to change their party enrollment, ensuring that postmarked forms are processed according to specific guidelines, even if they arrive without a clearly visible postmark.
