The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding a new requirement for nongovernmental entities or individuals that distribute official election-related documents. Specifically, it would mandate that any such document, including voter registration applications or early ballot requests, must have the phrase "Not From a Government Agency" printed in bold, clearly legible text on the outside of the envelope. This insertion aims to clarify the source of these documents to recipients.
Currently, there are no specific requirements for the labeling of election-related documents distributed by nongovernmental entities. The bill seeks to enhance transparency and prevent confusion among voters regarding the origin of these materials. By implementing this new disclosure requirement, the bill aims to ensure that voters can easily identify non-governmental communications related to elections.
