The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the responsibilities of special election board members. Under the new law, special election board members would be permitted to update necessary voter registration information for the qualified electors they are assigned to assist, ensuring that the elector's information is accurate and that they receive the correct ballot. This provision is a new insertion into the existing law.

Additionally, the bill would explicitly prohibit special election board members from collecting, processing, or facilitating new voter registrations or changing existing registrations for any other person at the facility or location while acting on behalf of the county recorder or other election officials. This prohibition is a significant change from current law, which does not clearly delineate these restrictions. Overall, the bill aims to clarify the roles and limitations of special election board members in the voter registration process.
