Bill > SB1690

This bill expands existing provisions for absentee voting to include blind, visually impaired, and print-disabled voters, allowing them to request early ballots using the Federal Postcard Application, which serves as both a voter registration and ballot application. These voters can now choose to receive ballot materials via the internet, fax, or other electronic means, or by mail, and election officials must provide responses in the designated format. The bill also clarifies that for voters who receive their ballots electronically, a paper ballot is not required for the same election, and it updates references to federal law concerning overseas and military voters, ensuring that emergency procedures for early balloting also apply to blind, visually impaired, and print-disabled voters in cases of national or local emergencies that make standard procedures impractical.
