Voting, absentee voting, disabled, blind, or voters unable to read may designate individual to deliver voter's absentee ballot application and absentee ballot to absentee election manager

HB 31 allows voters who are disabled, blind, or unable to read or write to designate a specific person to deliver both their absentee ballot application and completed absentee ballot to election officials. This changes current law, which required these voters to personally deliver these materials. The bill specifically permits a designated individual to handle this delivery for eligible voters, removing a barrier to absentee voting access. It also includes minor technical updates to align the law with current language. The bill directly affects voters with disabilities, blindness, or literacy challenges who need assistance with absentee voting procedures.
