Bill > HB06024

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 145 of the general statutes to establish a signature verification process for absentee ballots. Specifically, the bill requires local election officials to compare the signature on the inner envelope of a returned absentee ballot with the signature on the original absentee ballot application. The goal of this verification process is to ensure that the person who returns an absentee ballot is the same individual who initially requested the ballot, thereby adding an additional layer of authentication to the absentee voting process. By implementing this signature matching procedure, the bill aims to enhance the integrity and security of absentee voting by providing a method to confirm the voter's identity at the point of ballot submission.
