Relating to: compliance with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act. (FE)

SB 378 aligns Wisconsin's election procedures with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act. It requires the state election commission to publish all key election deadlines (including recounts) on its website. For presidential elections, the bill mandates that municipal clerks deliver ballots to county clerks by 9 a.m. on Saturday (instead of the previous deadline), and county clerks must remain open that Saturday to accept filings. It also adjusts timelines for counting provisional ballots and reconciling absentee and in-person votes to prevent duplicate voting. This bill directly affects municipal and county clerks, election boards, and the processing of ballots in presidential elections.
