On Wednesday, May 5th, the Senate Elections Committee will hold a hearing for a series of bills that will make it harder for people with disabilities, older adults, and others to vote. It will also make it more difficult for friends and neighbors to assist with returning an absentee ballot and put volunteers, clerks, and others at risk for prosecution if they violate the new restrictions.

The hearing tomorrow will discuss the following bills:

  • SB 203: Secure Delivery of Absentee Ballots
  • SB 206: Returning Absentee Indefinitely Voter
  • SB 209: Returning Absentee Ballots to Office of the Clerk
  • SB 212: Defects on Absentee Ballot Certificates
