Election Law - Notice to Permanent Absentee Voters

HB 199 modifies Maryland's election law to change how the State Board of Elections notifies permanent absentee voters. It requires the State Board to send written notices to these voters 120 days before an election (ending 90 days prior), instead of using a fixed date-based deadline. The notice must confirm the voter's permanent absentee status, include their address and chosen ballot delivery method (mail/email/text), and inform them to update changes. If initial contact fails using the voter's preferred method, the State Board must attempt contact via another available method. This affects all Maryland voters enrolled in the permanent absentee ballot program.
