SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Absentee voting in certain business and medical emergency situations. Permits a person to apply for an absentee ballot and vote in person on the Monday before the election if he learned after noon on the Saturday before the election that he must be absent from the county or city on election day because of his hospitalization or an immediate family member’s hospitalization or death. The bill also permits an officer of election to vote on the Monday before the election if he is assigned after Saturday at noon to work in a precinct other than his voting precinct. Present law allows a late application and in-person absentee voting on the Monday before the election in cases of business emergencies requiring travel. The usual deadline for in-person absentee voting is three days before the election. This bill permits last-minute voting until 2:00 p.m., rather than noon, on Mondays. This bill incorporates HB 1878 and HB 2212.
