Amendment 12

Ballot Tracking

Messrs. O'Connor, Crighton, Tran and Tarr move that the proposed new text be amended by striking the word "and" as it appears for the second time in line 75 and by inserting after the word "guaranteed" in line 76 the following:-

"; (iii) include a bar code on each application specific to the voter which can be used by the city or town clerk to scan such application into the voter registration system for processing; and (iv) include clear instructions and link for how voters can track their mail in application.”

Mr. O'Connor moves to amend the bill further by inserting the following new section:-

"SECTION XX. The secretary will implement a voter tracking system for early voted applications, similar to the secretary's procedures for absentee ballot tracking for state elections, that will provide voters with real time tracking of the status of their application, including date application processed, date ballot mailed by local official, date ballot received back by the local official, and provide the link to this tracking system on each application mailed by the secretary in accordance with 6(d)(4)(iv)."
