Problem
Securing and safeguarding the right to vote is vitally important, especially as some states have worked to suppress voters. We must make sure every vote counts - whether that is through the traditional polls or through vote-by-mail ballots.
Solution
I have introduced bills that would do the following:
Requires voted ballots received within seven days after polls close to be valid and canvassed if postmarked by election day; allows voters to cure ballot signature defects; extends primary and general election certification deadlines.
Requires county board of elections to mail notice to mail-in voters after each election confirming ballot was received and counted.
Allows mail-in voter to cure mail-in ballot due to missing certificate.
