Overview
This bill allows voters to cast their vote by mail ballots at satellite locations established by county elections officials, starting 29 days before an election. For statewide elections, counties without all-mailed ballot elections must provide at least one early voting location on the Saturday before the election. The bill simplifies the voting process by removing the requirement for a specific identification envelope and streamlines notification procedures for satellite locations. It also updates provisions related to voter registration and accessibility at these locations.
