HB 2404 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies law relating to rejected absentee ballots

This bill updates the rules for handling rejected absentee ballots in Florida to ensure voters are informed about why their ballots were not counted. It requires election officials to mark rejected envelopes with the specific reason for rejection and immediately notify the voter of the rejection along with instructions on how to fix the issue. Voters who receive this notice have the opportunity to cure certain errors, such as missing signatures or incomplete statements, by submitting an affidavit and ID before a set deadline. If the election authority accepts this documentation and confirms the voter is eligible, the previously rejected ballot will be counted. The law also mandates that all ballot envelopes remain sealed and secure until they are processed according to these procedures.
