Current law requires that all elections conducted under the Uniform Election Code of 1992 be conducted by mail ballot. Sections 2 and 3 of the bill allow an elector, in accordance with rules adopted by the secretary of state, to opt out of automatically receiving mail ballots by completing a form on the online voter registration system. An elector who opts out may also resume receiving automatic mail ballots in accordance with the processes set forth by the secretary of state. Section 4 of the bill: • Directs the secretary of state to use federal Help America Vote Act grant moneys to purchase at least one 24-hour drop box and surveillance camera for each county in the state; • Allows counties to request a waiver from receiving such boxes and cameras; and • Specifically authorizes the secretary of state to promulgate rules to implement these provisions.
