AI Summary
This bill requires each county commissioner of elections to add a label to every ballot cast in primary and general elections, indicating how that ballot was submitted. The label must clearly distinguish between ballots cast in person on election day, in person before election day, by mail through regular channels (not covered by a specific federal law), by mail by military personnel under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), or by mail by overseas citizens also under UOCAVA. The state commissioner of elections will be responsible for creating the necessary rules to put this labeling requirement into practice.
