What’s in it
AI summary People who vote by mail can now receive ballots for every general election automatically without having to reapply each time. This status stays active unless the voter asks to stop or if they miss voting in two general elections in a row. Local election officials can also end this arrangement if the person no longer qualifies to vote this way.1
Read the official explanation
This bill allows an absentee voter to receive absentee ballots for all subsequent general elections without having to reapply before each election. A person’s status as an ongoing absentee voter can be terminated by that person or by the county commissioner of elections if the person fails to qualify as an absentee voter or if the person fails to vote in two consecutive general elections.
