HB 77 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Voting, absentee voting; designee to deliver voter's absentee ballot application and absentee ballot to absentee election manager for disabled voter, authorized

HB 77 allows a designated person (a "designee") to deliver both a disabled voter's absentee ballot application and the completed absentee ballot itself to the election manager. This directly affects voters with disabilities who require assistance to submit absentee voting materials. The bill's key provision removes a barrier by authorizing a trusted individual to handle the physical delivery of these documents, ensuring disabled voters can participate in absentee voting without needing to mail or personally deliver them. The change aims to improve accessibility for disabled voters in the absentee voting process.
