2018 Senate Bill 1063

Authorize local mail-in elections

Introduced in the Senate

June 12, 2018

Introduced by Sen. Steve Bieda (D-9)

To allow local governments to hold elections for local officials or local ballot measures by mail. This would not apply if any state offices or statewide measures are on the ballot. Local clerks would send a ballot to every registered voter, who could return it by mail, or at designated drop-off points on election day. The bill would establish comprehensive rules for the process and authorize the Secretary of State to administer them.

Referred to the Committee on Elections and Government Reform
