An act relating to mail-in ballots for general elections
This bill would change how general election ballots are distributed in Vermont by requiring voters to request their mail-in ballots instead of receiving them automatically. It directly affects active voters on the statewide voter checklist who currently receive ballots without asking for them. The key provision amends state law to mandate that the Secretary of State's office only mails ballots upon voter request for general elections. This change shifts the voting process from automatic distribution to an opt-in system for mail-in ballots.
