Bill Summary
Elections; deadline for receipt of absentee ballots and certain other information; 5:00 p.m. on the third day after the election. Moves the deadline for receipt of an absentee ballot, information required to cure an absentee ballot, or proof of identification to accompany a provisional ballot provided for lack of identification from noon to 5:00 p.m. on the third day after the election.
AI Summary
This bill extends the deadline for receiving certain election-related materials. Specifically, it moves the deadline for when an absentee ballot, information needed to fix a problem with an absentee ballot (known as "curing"), or proof of identification for a provisional ballot (a ballot cast when there's a question about a voter's eligibility at the polling place) must be received by election officials from noon to 5:00 p.m. on the third day after the election. This change provides voters with an additional five hours to ensure their ballots and supporting documents are submitted correctly.
