Requires voters to complete mail-in ballot application each year; repeals automatic mail-in ballot designation.

This bill mandates that voters who wish to vote by mail must complete an application for a mail-in ballot each calendar year. It provides options for voting by mail in all elections or in any single election held in that year. The bill also repeals the automatic designation of voters who voted by mail in 2016, 2017, and 2018 as automatic vote-by-mail voters in all future elections, unless they opted out. The county clerk must notify voters of the requirement to complete an application each year. The bill takes effect immediately but is implemented after the November general election.
