An Act relative to city and town clerks mailing of early voting ballots
This bill sets a 30-calendar-day limit for mailing early voting ballots and prohibits in-person pickup more than 30 days before an election. It requires city/town clerks to mail ballots (or deliver them upon request) no earlier than 30 days before election day, ensuring voters receive ballots in a timely manner. For voters in designated health care facilities, ballots must be delivered in person by election officials within the same 30-day window, not mailed. The bill directly affects voters requesting early ballots and local election clerks managing ballot distribution.
