HB 1355 -- Election Procedures and Penalties

Sponsor:  Johnson (47)

This bill allows voters to cast advance ballots starting on the
third Wednesday before any election.  Voters may always cast
advance ballots at the central voting location; and voting will
be allowed on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and on
Saturdays until 12:00 p.m.

For federal elections, the election authorities must provide up
to six satellite voting sites, with one satellite site
established for every 50,000 voters.  For other elections, the
use of satellite sites is discretionary.  Election authorities
must provide information about the location of these satellite
sites on their web site and at their offices and may publicize
the location through other means.  These satellite sites will be
subject to the supervision of election judges with at least one
judge from each major political party at each site.

Any voter casting more than one type of ballot during the same
election is guilty of an offense.  The disclosure of voting lists
containing the names of those using either advance ballots or
absentee ballots to unauthorized persons is also an offense.
Generally, those voting by advance ballot receive the same
protections as those voting by absentee ballot.
