Title
Elections, voting, prohibit mail-in voting and prohibit the Sec. of State from revising the absentee voting process during a state of emergency, Sec. 17-11-3 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, an elector may vote by absentee ballot if he or she meets one of the listed criteria for which absentee voting is authorized. To vote by absentee ballot, an elector must provide a copy of photo identification and must have his or her ballot witnessed by two individuals or be notarized

Also under existing law, if a state of emergency renders substantial compliance with the absentee ballot laws unreasonable, the Secretary of State may adopt an emergency rule to allow those electors to vote by absentee ballot

This bill would prohibit the Secretary of State, when adopting emergency rules to revise the absentee ballot requirements in a state of emergency, from waiving the requirements that an elector submit an application and provide a copy of photo identification and have his or her ballot witnessed or notarized
