Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-37)

AB 229 revises Nevada's mail ballot rules to extend deadlines and improve accessibility. It requires mail ballots to be postmarked by the last day of early voting (not election day) and received by election officials before polls close on election day. The bill mandates that counties and cities establish secure ballot drop boxes at all polling places during early voting and election day, with specific security and accessibility requirements. This directly affects mail-in voters, election officials, and individuals authorized to return ballots on behalf of others, while adding penalties for obstructing ballot returns. The changes aim to modernize mail ballot processing without altering vote counting procedures.
