Committee advances bill to share provisional-voter data with parties during cure period
Summary
HB 2050 would require county recorders to include voters who cast provisional ballots in daily lists shared with political parties during the signature cure period; the committee approved the measure by a 6-1 vote.
The committee gave House Bill 2050 a due-pass recommendation by a recorded vote of 6 ayes and 1 nay. The bill adds regular provisional ballots to the categories of voter data county recorders must update and share daily with political parties during the signature cure period.
Sponsor testimony described the bill as a clarification and a cleanup to a prior election-package statute. The sponsor said last year’s overhaul required certain provisional ballot data to be released but did not clearly include ordinary provisional ballots; HB 2050 would make that inclusion explicit. No witnesses registered opposition at the committee meeting.
The committee recorded a roll call that included one recorded no vote; the bill now proceeds to the House floor for further consideration.
