Prohibiting the delivery of unsolicited absentee ballot applications to any person who has not specifically requested one from the county clerk

HB 4447 prohibits election officials and others from sending absentee ballot applications to voters who haven’t specifically requested one. It limits anyone from delivering more than 10 unsolicited applications to a single voter. The bill requires absentee ballot applications to be available at county clerk offices and online, but ensures they are only sent upon direct request. Violations could result in misdemeanor penalties. This directly affects election officials, political groups, and individuals distributing ballot materials.
