HB 2088 -- Absentee Voting

Sponsor:  Zimmerman

Currently, voters who are prevented for various reasons from
going to the polls to vote on election day can vote by absentee
ballot.  This bill allows any registered voter who is eligible to
vote in a particular election to do so by absentee ballot.
Election authorities must deliver an absentee ballot to each
registered voter for any election for statewide office, state
representative, and state senator.  Delivery of the ballot will
be made in the same manner that absentee ballots are currently
delivered.  The application for an absentee ballot is waived when
the election authority delivers absentee ballots, and voters
registered by mail must provide an affidavit along with their
absentee ballot unless they are exempt because of disability or
federal law.
