HB2415

THE CONTEXT: Any voter may request to be included on the AEVL, which is a list of voters who automatically receive an early ballot by mail for all elections. The request must specifically state that the voter's name be added to the AEVL for all elections in which the voter is eligible.

WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would decreases the number of consecutive election cycles in which a person may fail to vote an early ballot and remain on the AEVL from two election cycles to one election cycle.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to make the government process for active early voting lists more definite and accountable. It would decreases the number of consecutive election cycles in which a person may fail to vote an early ballot and remain on the AEVL from two election cycles to one election cycle, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
