New Absentee Voting Rules for Federal Elections
This bill introduces stricter rules for absentee voting in federal elections. Citizens will need to meet specific conditions and provide a valid reason to cast their vote this way, which may affect the accessibility of this voting method.
Key points
Absentee voting will only be allowed for specific, excusable reasons, such as work, caring for a sick person, disability, or absence from the voting jurisdiction.
Applications for absentee ballots must be submitted by noon on the Friday before the election and include a sworn written statement of identity.
