HB 1672 (2020)

Allows any voter to vote by absentee ballot, whether or not he or she will actually be absent on election day. The Senate amended the bill to become the "Coronavirus Election Protection Act of 2020." The amended bill allows any voter to vote by absentee ballot, allows town officials to start processing ballots before Election Day, and authorizes online voter registration. Lastly, the amended bill directs the Secretary of State to share voter information with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) and stop sharing data with the Kansas-based Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program.
