Rhode Island H7007 allows disabled and military voters to use electronically transmitted ballots.

Rhode Island H7007 enables eligible disabled voters and military personnel to electronically receive and return mail ballots. This process uses the same electronic transmission system as that used by voters covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). The electronic process satisfies the federal Rehabilitation Act, section 508 concerning accessibility standards. The bill also outlines procedures for voters to notify the local board of canvassers if they no longer qualify for the service.
