What’s in it

This bill relates to the conduct of elections. The 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. The bill strikes provisions requiring the use of optical scan voting systems in all elections and the use of automatic tabulating equipment in certain elections.
