Provides voters an opportunity to cure deficiencies regarding affidavit ballots to have their votes counted.

This bill amends the election law to allow voters to cure deficiencies in their affidavit ballots. If the board of elections determines that an affidavit ballot is incomplete or defective, they must notify the voter within one day. The voter then has the opportunity to submit a signed affirmation to correct the defect. If the board finds the affirmation sufficient, the ballot will be reinstated and counted. The bill also mandates that the state board of elections create rules to implement these changes.
