What’s in it

This bill relates to the casting and canvassing of absentee ballots. The bill requires absentee ballots to be received in the office of the county commissioner of elections before the close of business on the day before the election. Under current law, absentee ballots must be received in the office of the county commissioner of elections by the time the polls close on election day. The bill does not amend the deadline under current law for the receipt of absentee ballots from confined persons. The bill prohibits the special precinct election board from tabulating absentee ballots in excess of the number reported received by the commissioner as of the close of business on the day before the election, except for ballots cast by participants in the address confidentiality program or uniformed and overseas citizens.
