Certain mailings containing an absentee ballot application or sample ballot send on the behalf of a committee or other private organization requirements provision
SF 2918 requires committees or private organizations sending mailings with absentee ballot applications or sample ballots to include a clear, visible statement explaining the mailing is not an official government communication, wasn't requested by officials, and sample ballots aren't valid for voting. It also prohibits pre-printing voter registration details like names or addresses on these applications. The bill mandates that such mailings use distinct envelope markings to differentiate them from official election mail. This directly affects private groups distributing ballot materials, aiming to prevent voter confusion about the source and validity of election-related mailings.
