IN RE:
HB1927 by Bonnen, Greg (Relating to the application to vote early by mail in more than one election.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Election Code to permit an application for a ballot to be voted early by mail to apply to more than one election. For certain elections held in a political subdivision, the county clerk would be required to provide the early voting clerk of a political subdivision a list of voters in the portion of the political subdivision who have applications for ballots to be voted by mail. The Secretary of State would be required to provide a method that counties and political subdivisions would be able to exchange and update information relating to applications for ballots to be voted by mail. The voter registrar would be required to update information and send ballots to the voter at the voter's updated address or delete the voter from the list if the voter's county of residence has changed.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
