A bill for an act relating to the casting of provisional ballots by persons registering to vote on election day or when casting an in-person absentee ballot.

Summary

The bill makes anyone who registers to vote on Election Day or who casts an in‑person absentee ballot use a provisional ballot unless the polling place has an electronic poll book that can instantly verify eligibility. A state‑maintained database is used to check felony convictions and restored voting rights, and the absentee‑and‑special‑voters precinct board decides whether to count or reject the provisional ballot. This changes the current rule that allows a regular ballot when electronic verification is possible.
