This bill amends R.S. 18:1308(B)(1) to regulate the delivery of absentee ballots by mail. It specifies that a person may not submit or send more than 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, a commercial courier, or the United States Postal Service, that person must sign a statement certifying they have the voter's authorization to hand deliver the ballot.

Additionally, the bill replaces the term "hand deliver" with "submit by any means or send for delivery" to broaden the methods of ballot submission. It maintains the requirement for the registrar to post the name and precinct of the voter upon receipt of the ballot, ensuring transparency in the absentee voting process.
