An Act to fairly fund early voting

SD 55 requires the Commonwealth to reimburse cities and towns for all costs incurred to operate mandated early voting procedures. This directly affects local municipalities that must provide early voting as required by law. The state treasurer must pay these reimbursements annually by July 1st following an election, based on approvals from the secretary of state. Municipalities may also establish an Early Voting Reimbursement Fund to hold unused state funds, which can carry forward for one fiscal year.
