Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding absentee ballots.

During the 2020 Special Session, temporary changes were put in place to address the mailing and processing of absentee ballots in the form of S1001a. These changes specifically addressed the timing of the mailing out of absentee ballots, the time period for opening and scanning returned absentee ballots, and security requirements for this process. These changes proved pivotal to Idaho’s success in administering the November 2020 General Election and the timely release of results. This legislation makes the changes from the Special Session, which expired at the end of the year.
