This bill would eliminate the rule that absentee ballots must arrive by the Friday before Election Day in order for voters to correct errors with their ballots. Instead, any voter could fix mistakes on their absentee ballot, as long as it was received before polls closed on Election Day. Registrars must notify voters promptly of problems. The deadline to fix errors moves from noon on the third day after the election to noon on the Monday after Election Day. Ballots won’t be rejected for a missing middle initial or date on the affirmation.
