Bill > HB773

This bill modifies the process for correcting errors on absentee ballots, which are ballots cast by voters who cannot or choose not to vote in person on Election Day. Specifically, it removes the requirement that absentee ballots must be received by the Friday before Election Day for the election official, known as the general registrar, to begin the process of "curing" or fixing any mistakes on the ballot envelope, such as an incomplete voter affirmation statement. The bill also extends the deadline for voters to correct these errors or omissions on their absentee ballot applications from noon on the third day after the election to noon on the Monday after the election, ensuring more time for voters to ensure their ballots are counted.
