Requires the Secretary of State to either implement a statewide text-message-based ballot curing system or provide county registrars with resources to implement such systems locally

Defines "ballot curing" as the existing process allowing voters to verify their signature when elections officials determine the signature on a vote by mail ballot does not match records

Mandates data privacy and ballot security protections for any text-message-based curing service

Requires the Secretary of State to publish program data on its website, including number of voters who cured ballots via text message, number offered the service, median time between notification and curing, and comparison with traditional curing methods

Allows the Secretary of State to combine this system with existing ballot tracking and notification systems
