Bill Summary
This bill requires county clerks to send a confirmation notice to vote-by-mail applicants that requests a mail-in ballot at a separate mailing address than the address at which the applicant is registered to vote. Under current law, an applicant to vote-by-mail can request that a mail-in ballot be sent to a separate mailing address than the address at which the applicant is registered to vote. However, a notice to the applicant at the registration address confirming the address where an applicant's mail-in ballot will be sent is not required. Under the bill, county clerks will be required to send a confirmation notice to inform vote-by-mail applicants that a mail-in ballot has been requested at a separate mailing address than the applicant's voting residence. The confirmation notice will be required to contain instructions on how to contact the appropriate officials to remedy a false request or correct any other inaccurate information contained in the confirmation notice.
AI Summary
This bill requires county clerks to send a confirmation notice to individuals who apply for a mail-in ballot and request it be sent to a different address than where they are registered to vote. This notice, sent to the applicant's registered address, will inform them that a mail-in ballot has been requested for a separate mailing address and will include instructions on how to contact officials to correct any errors or address a potentially fraudulent request. This measure aims to provide an extra layer of security and verification for vote-by-mail applications where the ballot is being sent to an alternative location.
