SB2747 Summary

• Changes early voting period from 40 days before an election to 15 days before for general primaries, consolidated primaries, consolidated elections, and general elections.

• Modifies vote-by-mail ballot postmark deadline language from "midnight preceding election day" to "no later than election day" across multiple sections to conform with prior legislation.

• Expands ballot delivery options for vote-by-mail envelopes to allow "any person authorized by the voter" instead of limiting to family members or commercial carriers.

• Allows physically incapacitated electors in licensed facilities to receive ballots no later than 9 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday before the election (previously limited to Saturday, Sunday, or Monday only).

• Changes school district candidate nomination filing requirements to specify "county clerk or county board of election commissioners" instead of "election authority" and adjusts the filing deadline window to 106-113 days before consolidated elections.

• Broadens the double-voting felony statute to cover voting during "any election" where ballots list the same candidates and issues, rather than limiting to "the same election day."
