Relates to allowing pre-registered voters to apply for an absentee or early mail ballot
This bill allows individuals who have pre-registered to vote to apply for absentee or early mail ballots, provided they will be at least eighteen years old by the time of the election. The change updates election laws to officially recognize pre-registered voters as qualified for these voting methods, expanding access for people who have signed up but are not yet of voting age. The legislation takes effect immediately and includes a standard clause ensuring that if any part of the law is found invalid, the rest of the bill remains in force.
