        A HOUSE RESOLUTION urging the Legislative Council to assign the topic of absentee ballot issues to an interim study committee.
    

    Whereas, The right to vote is the foundation of our democratic form of government;

    Whereas, Americans must take all the steps necessary to ensure that every citizen is given the opportunity to vote;

    Whereas, The right to cast an absentee ballot is invaluable to ensure that each Hoosier with the right to vote has the ability to cast a vote in all elections;

    Whereas, Two issues of great importance that require

further study are ballot security for an absentee ballot transmitted to and from a voter by mail and connection of the statewide voter registration list and files maintained by the department of state revenue; and

    Whereas, These issues require additional study to ensure that the proper steps are taken to protect the right of Hoosiers to vote absentee: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. That the Indiana House of Representatives urges the Legislative Council to assign the topic of absentee ballot issues to an interim study committee.
    SECTION 2. That the committee, if established, shall operate under the direction of the legislative council, and that the committee shall issue a final report when directed to do so by the council.
