What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in a municipality using a municipal board of absentee ballot

canvassers to canvass absentee ballots in an election, the board of absentee ballot

canvassers must assign a poll list number to each absent elector and mark the

number on the back of the absentee ballot. This bill eliminates the requirement that

the poll list number be marked on the back of absentee ballots.
