What’s in it

This bill relates to mailed absentee ballots. To be counted, a mailed absentee ballot must be sent the day before the election, as verified by a postmark or an intelligent mail barcode. The bill defines “intelligent mail barcode” to mean any barcode that may be read to determine when an absentee ballot envelope entered the federal mail system.
