This bill amends R.S. 18:1308(B)(1) to regulate the delivery of absentee ballots by mail. It specifies that a person may only submit or send for delivery one marked ballot per election to the registrar through the United States Postal Service or a commercial courier. The bill also clarifies that if a ballot is delivered by someone other than the voter, that individual must sign a statement certifying they have the voter's authorization to hand deliver the marked ballot.

Additionally, the bill replaces the term "hand deliver" with "submit by any means or send for delivery" in the context of how ballots can be returned to the registrar. This change aims to streamline the process while ensuring that only one marked ballot is submitted per election by any individual, except for the voter's immediate family.
