MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 14, 2019 01:02 PM
From: Representative Brian Sims and Rep. Neal P. Goodman
To: All House members
Subject: No Questions Asked Absentee Ballots
 
Democracy only works when we all participate.

We need to ensure that everyone eligible to vote gets an opportunity to cast a ballot. Sadly, current law limits voting by absentee ballot to only a few reasons.

People have busy lives and complicated schedules. That’s why we're proposing we allow no-excuse absentee ballot voting.

Our proposal is simple. If a registered voter requests an absentee ballot, they get an absentee ballot.

Please join us in allowing more people to vote.


Introduced as HB1493
