Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2251, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to ensure the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the elections process by requiring the county clerk of any county with a population of less than 160,000 to mail an absentee ballot for each primary, special primary, special, general, and special general election to all registered voters of any island of the county that is not the county seat of government.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its application to counties with populations of less than 180,000; and
(2) Making the use of mail-only elections discretionary.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2251, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2251, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
