SB 1431: Elections.

This bill aims to make conforming changes to the elections process. It requires elections officials to send ballots and related materials to active registered military and overseas voters without them needing to request a vote by mail ballot. The bill also establishes new procedures for local elections officials, requiring candidates to submit a minimum number of signatures, rather than a range, to appear on the ballot. This would prevent elections officials from withdrawing excess signatures. Candidates would be allowed to continuously submit signatures until the official verifies the required number. Additionally, the bill would make the state responsible for reimbursing local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
