Bill > HB1303

This bill, titled the "Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act," aims to make voting and voter registration more convenient and accessible for all eligible citizens. Key provisions include allowing voter registration up to and on Election Day, expanding the use of mail-in ballots, and establishing voter service and polling centers (VSPCs) which offer in-person registration, ballot casting, and updates to registration information. The bill also introduces new definitions for terms like "confirmation card" and "drop-off location," and updates existing definitions to reflect these changes. It modifies various statutes related to voter registration deadlines, communication with electors, the process for changing addresses, and the requirements for election judges and polling locations. Additionally, the bill creates the Colorado Voter Access and Modernized Elections Commission to evaluate the implementation of these changes and mandates specific reporting on election technology. It also includes provisions for electronic voter registration, online changes to elector information, and the use of electronic mail for election communications, while also addressing accessibility for voters with disabilities and the security of voting systems. The bill repeals several outdated sections and makes appropriations for its implementation.
