Relates to certain application deadlines for ballots for president and vice-president of the United States
This bill amends state election laws to extend the deadline for requesting special presidential ballots from seven days before an election to ten days. It directly affects voters who need to move their residence or request a ballot for the president and vice-president, allowing them more time to apply. The legislation also clarifies that these specific deadlines take precedence over other absentee voting rules if a conflict arises. Additionally, the bill ensures that application forms are provided to the voter and their immediate family members or authorized agents. These changes are set to take effect on January 1st of the year following the bill's enactment.
