AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING ABSENTEE BALLOTS; TO AMEND THE ABSENTEE BALLOT VOTER STATEMENT; AND TO REQUIRE A WITNESS FOR THE SIGNATURE OF AN ABSENTEE VOTER STATEMENT.

House Bill 1925 (now Act 846) amends the law concerning absentee ballots. It updates the absentee ballot voter statement to include a clear warning about penalties for providing false information under penalty of perjury. The bill generally requires an absentee voter's sworn statement to be witnessed by at least one individual aged 18 or older, who must provide their name, signature, and mailing address. However, this witness requirement does not apply to voters unable to attend polls due to illness, disability, residency in a long-term care facility, religious observance, or active military service outside the county.
