Bill > SF2081

This bill requires individuals who register to vote on election day or when casting an in-person absentee ballot to cast a provisional ballot, which is a temporary vote that is counted only after election officials verify the voter's eligibility. This change means that these voters will no longer be able to cast a regular ballot immediately if their eligibility can be confirmed through an electronic poll book, as was previously allowed under current law. The absentee and special voters precinct board will be responsible for reviewing these provisional ballots to ensure the voter meets all eligibility requirements, such as not having been convicted of a felony or having had their voting rights restored, before their vote is officially counted.
