This bill is a common-sense fix. Right now, voters who want to vote absentee face unnecessary hurdles — finding a notary, paying a fee, or making extra trips just to submit paperwork. HB 1277 removes those barriers without weakening security. It keeps elections safe while making voting more accessible for seniors, people with disabilities, working families, and voters who can’t easily leave home. This is what election integrity actually looks like: secure, modern, and fair.
