Restoring Confidence in Elections

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.
