Testing
Under current law, GAB must, by rule, prescribe requirements for certifying
individuals to serve as chief inspectors for an election. The board must include
training as part of those requirements, but the board may not require an individual

who receives the training to take an examination. This bill allows the board to
require such an examination.
Electronic poll lists
This bill requires GAB to facilitate the creation and maintenance of electronic
poll lists.
Electronic voting systems
This bill allows GAB to certify any voting device, automatic tabulating
equipment, or related equipment and materials for use in an electronic voting
system, regardless of whether any such items are approved by the federal Election
Assistance Commission.
Under current law, for the purpose of counting the votes cast using an electronic
voting system, when an elector votes for more candidates for an office than are
allowed to hold that office, an election official must create a duplicate ballot to record
all the other votes that the elector cast and to eliminate the overvote. The official
then marks the original and the duplicate and secures them both in the ballot
container with the other ballots.
Under the bill, an election official may, instead, use the override function of the
electronic voting system in order to record all votes of the elector on the original ballot
other than the votes for the overvoted office. The official then marks the original
ballot as an overvoted ballot and secures that ballot with the other ballots in the
ballot container.
Proof of residency; residential care facility
Under current law, an individual who wants to register to vote must present
proof of residency. An individual may present any of number of different documents
to prove where the individual lives, including a valid and current driver's license or
identification card, a property tax bill, an utility bill, a bank statement, or a check
or other document issued by a governmental unit. Under current law, the proof of
residency must specify the individual's name and his or her complete and current
residential address, including the numbered street address and the municipality.
Under this bill, for purposes of registering to vote with election registration
officials, an occupant of a residential care facility may use a contract or intake
document prepared by the residential care facility that specifies that the occupant
currently resides in the facility. The bill does not apply to occupants of a retirement
home.
Receiving absentee ballots by mail
This bill changes the date by which an elector must return and a municipal
clerk must receive an absentee ballot by mail. Under current law, an elector may vote
by absentee ballot either in person or by returning a completed ballot by U.S. mail.
Current law requires a municipal clerk to accept and count the votes on absentee
ballots received by mail as long as the ballot is postmarked no later than election day
and received in the office of the municipal clerk by 4 p.m. on the Friday following
election day.

This bill retains the right of an elector to vote by absentee ballot by mail, but
requires the elector to return the ballot so that it is received no later than 8 p.m. on
election day. Under current law, the polls close at 8 p.m. on election day.
Absentee ballots; witness certificate
Under current law, in order to vote using an absentee ballot, an individual must
complete a certificate, which certifies that the individual is a qualified elector. The
individual must sign the certificate in the presence of a witness who must also sign
the certificate and provide his or her name and address. Under this bill, an absentee
ballot may not be counted if the certificate is missing the address of a witness.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
