SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Absentee ballot applications and procedures. Eliminates the requirement for the signature of a witness on an application for an absentee ballot. If the applicant cannot sign the application, a person assisting the applicant must note that fact on the application and sign the application. The bill does not change the requirements that there must be a witness present at the time that the absentee voter marks and seals his absentee ballot and that the witness must sign the outside of the envelope containing the marked ballot.
