Absentee voting; eligibility of persons with disabilities and persons age 65 or older. Entitles (i) persons with disabilities who are not reasonably able to go in person to the polls on election day and (ii) persons who will be age 65 or older on the date of the election to vote absentee. Current law allows persons with disabilities who are unable to go in person to the polls on election day to vote absentee. The bill does not change current law that entitles persons age 65 or older and persons with disabilities to vote outside of the polling place upon request.
