AI Summary

This bill requires town and city clerks to make lists of individuals who have requested absentee ballots available for public inspection, with an exception for voters who have presented valid protective orders to supervisors of the checklist, and mandates that these lists be available for public inspection for a period of 60 days after the election or sooner with a court order. Additionally, the bill tasks the secretary of state with creating a report based on information in the statewide centralized voter registration database concerning absentee ballot requests received by mail, excluding those from UOCAVA (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) voters, to detail the number of requests by voting district, requests sent to addresses different from the voter's checklist address, instances where more than three ballots were sent to a common address, and the specific addresses for the top 20 most common mailing locations for absentee ballots.
