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 send daily updates to political parties regarding all voters whose signatures are inconsistent with their registration records, including those who voted with provisional ballots. This change aims to enhance transparency and ensure that provisional ballot voters are included in the signature curing process, thereby allowing for better communication with political parties during the election period.
Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the existing language, such as removing the term "conditional provisional ballot" in favor of simply "provisional ballot" to streamline the terminology used in the statutes. The overall effect of these updates is to clarify the responsibilities of election officials and improve the process for curing signatures, ultimately aiming to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
