Overview
This bill would allow mail-in ballots to be counted even if they were mailed, delivered, or dropped off by a voter who died before the election. It repeals existing laws that require these ballots to be rejected simply because the voter is deceased. The bill specifies that ballots can only be rejected if there are other issues with the ballot besides the voter’s death, and such rejections would not be appealable.
