Digest
HB 952 mandates that every mail-in early voting ballot includes a unique electronic code for authentication. The code must be readable by an electronic device and designed to prevent unauthorized reproduction or misuse. The bill specifies that no record may associate the voter with the unique code on their ballot to protect voter privacy. Election clerks are required to verify and record the code before issuing the ballot, and election boards must match returned ballots to recorded codes to validate them. Ballots with unmatched codes will be treated as rejected and handled per existing procedures. The bill is effective from September 1, 2025.
