SB246 Alabama 2020 Session

Under existing law, there is no requirement that an absentee election manager notify an elector if the elector submits a deficient absentee ballot application or fails to include a valid photo identification

This bill would require an absentee election manager to notify an applicant if an absentee ballot application is deficient and send the applicant a provisional ballot along with instructions on how to remedy the deficiency

This bill would authorize the Secretary of State to adopt rules

Relating to absentee voting; to amend Sections 17-11-5, as last amended by Act 2019-507, 2019 Regular Session, and 17-11-9, Code of Alabama 1975; to require an absentee election manager to notify an applicant if an absentee ballot application is deficient and send the applicant a provisional ballot along with instructions on how to remedy the deficiency; and to authorize rulemaking.
