What’s in it

AI summary People who want to register to vote on election day or vote early in person would now have to use a provisional ballot instead of a regular one. Election officials will then check to make sure the person is eligible before they count that vote. Currently, these voters can use a regular ballot if their information can be quickly verified through an electronic system.1

Read the official explanation

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.
