Under existing law, in order to vote by absentee ballot, an elector must complete an absentee ballot application, which includes checking off the reason he or she wishes to vote by absentee ballot from a specified list of reasons. When the elector submits the absentee ballot to cast his or her vote, the elector must again check off the reason for voting absentee on the affidavit submitted with the absentee ballot. This bill would remove from the affidavit form the list of reasons for voting by absentee ballot.
