SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Absentee voting; no-excuse. Allows for any registered voter to vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he is qualified to vote. This bill removes the current list of statutory reasons a person may be entitled to vote by absentee ballot and consolidates multiple sections relating to absentee voting by uniformed and overseas voters into one section and multiple sections related to absentee voting by persons with a disability into one section. It repeals several sections, including one section made obsolete by the expansion of federal write-in absentee ballots to all elections.
