HB 867 -- Election Procedures and Penalties

Sponsor:  Donnelly

Beginning January 1, 2008, 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 will be guilty of an offense.  The disclosure of voting
lists containing the names of those using either advance ballots
or absentee ballots to unauthorized persons will also be an
offense.  Persons voting by advance ballot will receive the same
protections as those voting by absentee ballot.
