Allows voters to request absentee ballots for school district elections if they cannot vote in person due to religious commitments.
This bill amends the education law to allow voters to request absentee ballots for school district elections if they cannot vote in person due to religious commitments. The bill specifies that a voter must state in good faith that they expect to be unable to vote in person due to their observance of a religious commitment or following their religious teaching or tenet that forbids secular activity on that day. The application for an absentee ballot must include the voter's full name, date of birth, and residence address.
