Election Law - Absentee Ballots - State and Federal Requirements
Approved by the Governor - Chapter 440
Summary
The bill tells the State and local election boards to label absentee ballots sent to voters via the Internet as “print‑at‑home ballots” in all voter communications. It also requires the State Administrator to adopt a uniform tabulation policy and provide extra voter notice if a federal court or law changes the deadline for receiving absentee ballots with federal contests. The measures apply to the 2026 and 2028 primary and general elections and take effect immediately for three years.
