Elections and voter registration; early voting; same day voter registration. Provides for early voting beginning the twenty-first day prior to any general election, the seventh day prior to any special election held on a date other than the date of a general election, and the seventh day prior to any primary election and ending at 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday immediately preceding the election, during which any registered voter may vote without providing a reason or making a prior application for an absentee ballot. During the early voting period, any person who is qualified to register to vote shall be permitted to register to vote and cast a ballot in person in the office of the general registrar or at another location in the county or city approved by the electoral board. The bill also permits such persons to do so on the day of the election. The bill removes the current provisions for voting absentee in person but retains those provisions for voting an absentee ballot by mail, including the application requirement and the list of statutory reasons that allow a registered voter to vote absentee by mail.

Elections and voter registration; early voting, same day voter registration.
