The proposed bill would amend current election statutes by adding provisional ballot voters to the list of voters whose signatures require curing. Specifically, it mandates that the county recorder or other election officials must send daily updates to political parties regarding voters with inconsistent signatures or those who voted with a provisional ballot, extending this requirement through the end of the signature cure period. This change aims to enhance transparency and communication between election officials and political parties regarding the status of provisional ballots.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to existing language, including the removal of the term "mail ballot" in favor of "early ballot" and clarifying the process for handling provisional ballots. The updates would ensure that all relevant voter information is provided to political parties, thereby improving the overall election process. The bill is designed to take effect on the general effective date, should it be enacted into law.
