Bill > HB1070

This bill requires that for municipal mail ballot elections conducted after March 30, 2018, election clerks must have access to digitized voter signatures from the centralized statewide voter registration system to compare with the signature on the mail ballot's self-affirmation envelope, potentially using signature verification devices, and this comparison must be done in accordance with specific state statutes. The bill also defines "clerk" in this context as having the same meaning as in the Colorado Municipal Election Code of 1965, and it appropriates funds for the Department of State to implement these changes, with the act taking effect after a certain period unless a petition for a referendum is filed, in which case it would be subject to voter approval.
