Bill > S2392

This bill, aiming to increase accessibility to voting, allows registered voters to automatically receive mail-in ballots for all elections under certain conditions, by modifying existing laws related to mail-in voting. Key changes include allowing voter registration forms to also serve as applications for mail-in ballots, and enabling voters to opt-in to receive mail-in ballots for all future elections or only for future general elections, which will be automatically sent without further request until the voter opts out. The bill also clarifies procedures for voters who receive a mail-in ballot but choose to vote in person, either by surrendering the mail-in ballot at the polling place or by casting a provisional ballot if they appear without their mail-in ballot. Additionally, it updates the voter registration form to include options for requesting mail-in ballots for future elections and modifies the notice requirements for mail-in ballot applications. The changes will take effect on January 1st following enactment.
