Absentee ballots; opportunity to correct affidavit envelope of defects provided

HB 97 would allow voters to fix common errors on absentee ballot envelopes before an election. Specifically, if an absentee ballot's affidavit envelope has issues like a missing signature, address mismatch, incorrect envelope order, or improper witnessing, election managers must notify the voter within two business days of receiving the ballot (if submitted three or more business days before the election). Voters would then have until the last business day before the election to correct these defects. This change directly affects absentee voters who submit ballots with envelope errors, ensuring their votes aren't automatically rejected due to minor technical issues.
