If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by adding provisions related to provisional ballots. Specifically, it would add provisional ballot voters to the list of voters whose signatures require curing that the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections must send to the political parties on a daily basis through the end of the signature cure period. This change aims to ensure that provisional ballot voters are included in the daily updates provided to political parties, thereby enhancing transparency and communication regarding the status of these ballots. Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to the existing language in the statutes, which may involve clarifying or updating terms and processes related to the handling of ballots and voter signatures. The overall intent of the bill is to improve the election process by ensuring that all voters, including those who cast provisional ballots, are accounted for in the signature curing process, thereby facilitating a more efficient and transparent electoral system.
