Relating to the appointment of a signature verification committee in certain counties.

HB 4471 establishes requirements for counties to form signature verification committees that check voter signatures on mail-in ballots. It allows counties with under 600,000 residents to create such committees if at least 15 registered voters request it, while larger counties (600,000+ population) need 250 voter requests. All requests must be submitted by October 1st before the election, with mailed requests counted as received upon mailing. This procedural bill directly affects counties seeking to implement signature verification for mail-in ballots in general elections.
