What it does

H.F. This bill requires a person registering to vote on election day or when casting an in-person absentee ballot to cast a provisional ballot. The absentee and special voters precinct board shall then count the provisional ballot only if the board determines that the voter was eligible to vote. Under current law, a person registering to vote on election day or when casting an in-person absentee ballot may cast a regular ballot if the polling place can verify the voter’s eligibility to vote using an electronic poll book.
