This bill aims to amend certain sections of the elections code to update election procedures. It would require specified notices, affidavits, and communications to be delivered by certified mail or electronic delivery.

Furthermore, the bill incorporates changes proposed by another bill to be operative only if both bills are enacted. The bill also addresses reimbursement for costs mandated by the state, stating that reimbursement for those costs will be made pursuant to existing statutory provisions.
