HB 1702 -- Absentee Voting Sponsor: Hoskins This bill allows absentee voting by registered voters for any reason. Currently, persons in federal service, interstate former residents, and intrastate new residents can vote for presidential and vice-presidential electors by absentee ballot even if they are not registered in their jurisdiction of residence. The bill repeals that authorization and eliminates the procedures for casting absentee ballots for presidential and vice-presidential electors without being registered in Sections 115.283 and 115.425, RSMo.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
