Authorizing the secretary of state to develop and test electronic methods of ballot return for service and overseas voters, disabled voters, and certain incarcerated voters.

HB 2064 authorizes Washington's Secretary of State to develop and test a secure electronic portal for specific voters who cannot use standard mail to return ballots. It directly affects service members, overseas voters, disabled voters (per RCW 29A.04.037), and eligible incarcerated voters (excluding those with revoked voting rights). The bill requires the portal to ensure voter secrecy, prevent duplicate voting, and restrict usage to only these covered groups, with counties reporting all portal activity. The Secretary of State must submit annual progress reports to the legislature, starting December 1, 2025, and complete a final report by December 1, 2028.
