SB 158 (2023)

Eliminate requirement for absentee ballot envelopes if the ballot is hand-delivered

Summary:

Removes the requirement that absentee ballots be placed in outer envelopes unless the ballots are mailed to town or city clerks. In other words, a person could return an absentee ballot in person without placing it in an envelope. This bill also allows clerks to open the outer envelope of a mailed absentee ballot before Election Day.
