What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows an eligible elector to make an application with the county clerk

to cast an in-person absentee ballot when the municipal clerk is unavailable. Under

current law, a municipality may accept applications to cast in-person absentee

ballots no later than the Friday before the election. Current law does not authorize

the county to accept such applications.
