Concerning irrigation district elections.
SB 5669 updates the process for elections within irrigation districts, affecting district electors and the districts themselves. The bill allows irrigation districts to conduct elections entirely by mail-in ballots, offering an alternative to traditional polling places and absentee voting. It streamlines absentee and mail-in voting by removing the requirement for electors to state they cannot conveniently be present and replaces the need for a witness signature with certification under penalty of perjury. Additionally, the bill extends the window for receiving mailed ballots and modernizes language regarding voter qualifications for spouses and land-owning entities.

MINOR
The document was converted from a bill draft to an official certification of enrollment, confirming that Senate Bill 5669 passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2025 Regular Session. This change adds formal signatures, vote counts, and a secretary's certification to validate the bill's final passage, rather than altering the bill's actual policy content.
ENFORCEMENT
Added official certification text, signatures, and vote tallies to confirm the bill passed both legislative chambers.
TECHNICAL
Inserted the title 'CERTIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT' and the specific dates of passage for the Senate and House.
Removed the original bill draft header 'S-1137.1' and replaced it with the certification title.
