2017 House Bill 5267

Allow registered-by-mail voter to vote absentee in first election

Introduced in the House

Nov. 28, 2017

Introduced by Rep. Jeremy Moss (D-35)

To allow a person to vote by absentee ballot in the first election after registering by mail to vote in a jurisdiction. Current law requires that such voters show up in person the first time that they vote in the new jurisdiction, but let’s them vote by absentee ballot for all subsequent elections.
