Includes a statement on the envelopes of ballots for absentee voters and special presidential voters for signature affirmation
This bill requires that envelopes for absentee and special presidential ballots include a printed statement affirming the voter's citizenship, registration, and eligibility to vote. The text mandates that voters sign this affirmation, which also includes a warning that making a false statement is a misdemeanor punishable by law. By adding these specific declarations and signature lines, the legislation aims to formalize the verification process for individuals who cannot vote in person at their local polling place. The changes would not take effect until one year after the bill becomes law.
