Relating to an opportunity to correct certain defects in an early voting ballot voted by mail.

HB 569 allows voters who submit mail-in ballots with defects (such as missing signatures or incomplete information) to correct them before election day. If an election clerk identifies a defect, they must notify the voter within two days via mail or delivery, explaining the issue and providing a corrective form developed by the Secretary of State. Voters can fix the ballot by mailing the completed form, visiting the clerk’s office in person by the sixth day after election day, or canceling their mail-in ballot application. The bill requires clerks to apply this process uniformly to all affected ballots and mandates the Secretary of State to create the corrective form.
