SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Voter registration applications; conditional votes and envelopes. Permits transmittal of a copy of a voter's original registration application by computer, electronic means or fax from one general registrar to another. The bill also provides that a photocopy shall be taken of the envelope in which a rejected conditional vote is sealed and that the copy may serve as a registration application. Conditional votes occur when a voter is not listed on the registered voter list at the precinct. The voter completes an envelope at the polls with the information required to register to vote and seals his conditional paper ballot in the envelope. The electoral board meets the next day to determine whether the conditional votes should be counted. The conditional vote envelopes are then sealed and stored with other election materials.
