The bill amends Section 17-20-18 of the General Laws in Chapter 17-20, which pertains to mail ballots. It introduces new language that allows for the inclusion of brief instructions for voting and the use of the ballot at the head of the ballot. Additionally, it specifies that mail ballots must include the phrase "Mail voters," except for those ballots cast in conformance with 17-20-2.2(g), which pertains to emergency mail ballots. The primary purpose of this legislation is to exempt emergency mail ballots from the requirement to include the specific wording regarding "mail voters" on the ballot. This act will take effect immediately upon passage.
