Requires a local election authority to be open for Saturday voting during the no excuse absentee voting period

This bill requires local election authorities to open their offices on at least one Saturday between the second Tuesday before an election and election day to allow for absentee voting. It expands the reasons a voter can request an absentee ballot to include religious observances, employment as a first responder or healthcare worker, and incarceration, while removing the need for a specific excuse during the designated no-excuse period. The legislation also mandates that election offices remain open during regular business hours on this Saturday to facilitate in-person absentee ballot requests and notarizations. These changes directly affect registered voters who need flexibility in voting due to work, health, or personal beliefs, as well as election officials who must adjust their schedules.
