ACTION NARRATIVE
1:33:33 PM
CHAIR ROGER HOLLAND called the Senate Judiciary Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:33 p.m. Present at the call to
order were Senators Myers, Hughes, Shower, Kiehl, and Chair
Holland.
SB 229-STATE HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS; CRIMES

CHAIR HOLLAND announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 229
"An Act relating to misconduct involving confidential
information; relating to artifacts of the state; and relating to
penalties regarding artifacts or historic, prehistoric, or
archeological resources of the state."
[SB 229 was previously heard on 4/6/22.]
1:34:23 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND opened public testimony; finding none, he closed
public testimony on SB 229.
1:35:25 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND held SB 229 in committee.

expend money in support of or in opposition to an application
filed for a state referendum or recall election; relating to the
location of offices for the Alaska Public Offices Commission and
the locations at which certain statements and reports filed with
the commission are made available; relating to the duties of the
Alaska Public Offices Commission; clarifying the limits on
making, accepting, and reporting certain cash campaign

[CSHB 157(Fin) was before the committee.]
[HB 157 was previously heard on 3/28/22.
1:35:49 PM
SENATOR SHOWER moved to adopt the [Senate] committee substitute
(CS) for HB 157, work order 32-LS0669\G, as the working
document.
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
1:36:12 PM
ED KING, Staff, Senator Roger Holland, Alaska State Legislature,
Juneau, Alaska, explained the changes in the committee
substitute for HB 157 from Version B to Version G.
[Original punctuation provided.]
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
(VERSION B TO VERSION G)
Change 1: Changed "a central office" to "offices"
(Page 2, line 17)
Change 2: Section 3 of version B was deleted
Change 3: Adds an extension for sitting legislators to
file their end-of-year reports until after
session ends but requires declaration of any
contributions over $500 within 7-days (page
5, line 28 through page 6, line 3). Section
8 of version I is a conforming change to
this addition (page 4, line 12 through page
5, line 4).
Change 4: Shortens the time to file a complaint from
five years to two years (page 6, line 12)
Change 5: Updates the effective date clause (page 10,
line 20)
1:37:05 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection; he found no further
objection, and Version G was adopted.
1:37:16 PM
At ease
1:39:03 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND reconvened the meeting.
1:39:25 PM
SENATOR SHOWER noted that during the at ease he verified that
the amendments were incorporated into Version G.
1:40:03 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND opened public testimony on HB 157, finding none;
he closed public testimony.
1:41:00 PM
SENATOR SHOWER related that he worked with the sponsor to
consider whether any reporting requirements were missing, which
resulted in one suggested amendment. He offered his view that
the committee had done an excellent job capturing the flow of
money, which is important to all Alaskans.
1:41:42 PM
SENATOR HUGHES commented that she previously introduced a bill
that related to the ballot initiative that would require the
details of the actual contributors to candidates from a
political action group (PAC), including their names, addresses,
and amounts. This bill would take the statute regarding
initiatives, bringing the recall elections and referendums,
although it doesn't go into the fine detail her bill did. This
would provide detailed information on candidates but not for
initiatives, referendums, or recalls. She said the language adds
"individual" instead of "person." Section 7 requires the report
to include the name, address, principal occupation, and employer
of the individual. She asked whether the goal was to bring the
referendum and recall elections in line with the existing
statute on initiatives.
1:43:52 PM
CRYSTAL KOENEMAN, Staff, Representative Sara Rasmussen, Alaska
State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, answered that the main point
would highlight the lack of reporting contributions and
expenditures for collecting signatures during the ballot
initiative process. Reporting contributions and expenditures
wouldn't be available until the lieutenant governor certified
the signatures and the ballot initiative was placed on the
ballot. The sponsor wanted to capture that period of time for
contributions and expenditures coming into Alaska without
reporting.
1:44:51 PM
SENATOR HUGHES observed that HB 157 was an improvement, but it
still would not provide the level of detail called for in the
ballot initiative. She surmised that reporting would have shown
significant funds for the [ranked choice voting] ballot
initiative was coming from outside Alaska. She said she did not
want to give the public the false impression that this would
balance things. She offered her view that it would provide an
extra level of detail for candidates but not for initiatives,
referendums, or recall elections.
1:46:00 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND asked whether this proposal would extend the
filing deadline for legislators.
MS. KOENEMAN answered yes, for Alaska Public Offices Commission
(APOC) financial disclosures.
1:46:33 PM
At ease
1:47:28 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND reconvened the meeting.
1:47:50 PM
MR. KING noted that there was discussion about the extension for
legislators because they are busy doing the work of the state,
and preparing financial disclosures was burdensome and would
take away from the state's business. The idea was to extend the
end-of-year campaign report beyond the legislative session. He
noted some discussion was held about moving the financial
disclosure requirements, but it created complications, so it is
not in the bill. The end-of-year campaign filing deadline was
extended to 15 days after the legislature adjourns. Another
provision would require candidates to disclose contributions of
$500 or more received after the election within 7 days.
1:49:11 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND disclosed that APOC fined him $10 for missing a
deadline.
1:49:19 PM
SENATOR HUGHES agreed that legislators were busy conducting the
business of the state during the legislative session. Further,
it would not be appropriate for legislators or staff to use
state equipment for campaign purposes. Many legislators retain
that paperwork in their home districts, so it made sense to
adjust the campaign reporting timeframe to allow legislators to
return home to handle the reports.
CHAIR HOLLAND began the amendment process.
1:50:40 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to adopt Amendment 1, work order 32-
LS0669\G.1.
32-LS0669\G.1
Bullard
4/5/22
AMENDMENT 1
OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR KIEHL
TO: SCS CSHB 157(JUD), Draft Version "G"
Page 1, line 11, following "campaigns;":
Insert "relating to the reporting of financial
and business interests by municipal officers, former
municipal officers, and candidates for municipal
office;"
Page 9, following line 29:
Insert a new bill section to read:
"* Sec. 18. AS 39.50.020(b) is amended to read:
(b) A public official, [OR] former public
official, or candidate for municipal office [OTHER
THAN AN ELECTED OR APPOINTED MUNICIPAL OFFICER] shall
file the statement with the Alaska Public Offices
Commission. Candidates for the office of governor and
lieutenant governor and, if the candidate is not
subject to AS 24.60, the legislature shall file the
statement under AS 15.25.030. The Alaska Public
Offices Commission shall provide copies of the
statements filed by municipal [MUNICIPAL] officers,
former municipal officers, and candidates for elective
municipal office to [SHALL FILE WITH] the applicable
municipal clerk or other municipal official designated
to receive the statements [THEIR FILING FOR OFFICE].
All statements required to be filed under this chapter
are public records."
Renumber the following bill sections accordingly.
1:50:52 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
1:50:56 PM
SENATOR KIEHL explained that Amendment 1 would eliminate the
requirement for municipal officials to double-file financial
disclosures. The current statute requires municipal officials to
file financial disclosures with the city clerk. Since Alaska
Public Offices Commission (APOC) provides these forms, municipal
officials must fill out the financial disclosure form on the
APOC website, file it, print it, and submit it to the municipal
clerk's office. Amendment 1 would require municipal officials to
file their disclosures with APOC, who would forward the filing
to the municipal clerk to ensure that the public has access to
the filings.
1:52:07 PM
At ease
1:52:18 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND reconvened the meeting.
1:52:46 PM
SENATOR HUGHES wondered how this change would work for APOC.
1:53:00 PM
HEATHER HEBDON, Executive Director, Alaska Public Offices
Commission, Anchorage, Alaska, agreed Senator Kiehl made a good
point that municipal officers and candidates use APOC's online
system to file their financial disclosure forms (POFDs). Only
six municipalities and boroughs with a population of more than
15,000 are required to submit their forms electronically. She
estimated an additional 15-20 municipalities statewide are
allowed to file paper financial disclosure forms. APOC regularly
provides these POFD forms to the clerk's office to disseminate
to their filers. She did not anticipate any issues if municipal
filers used APOC's online system to file their POFDs. Municipal
filers or APOC staff could subsequently submit these filings to
municipal clerk offices.
1:54:32 PM
SENATOR HUGHES said streamlining the process may encourage more
people to run for municipal positions, so it was a good
amendment.
1:55:03 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection; he found no further
objection, and Amendment 1 was adopted.
1:55:15 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to adopt Amendment 2, work order 32-
LS0669\G.2.
32-LS0669\G.2
Bullard
4/5/22
AMENDMENT 2
OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR KIEHL
TO: SCS CSHB 157(JUD), Draft Version "G"
Page 9, lines 17 - 20:
Delete "central office and on the commission's
Internet website [, THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR, THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARY OF THE
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS AGENCY, AND AT THE COMMISSION'S
DISTRICT OFFICES PRESCRIBED IN AS 15.13.020(j)]"
Insert "offices and on the commission's Internet
website [CENTRAL OFFICE, THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR, THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE LIBRARY OF THE
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS AGENCY, AND AT THE COMMISSION'S
DISTRICT OFFICES PRESCRIBED IN AS 15.13.020(j)]"
Page 9, lines 27 - 29:
Delete "the commission's central [AN] office and
be made available on the commission's Internet website
[ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMISSION IN THE STATE CAPITAL OR
IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR]"
Insert "the commission's offices and be made
available on the commission's Internet website [AN
OFFICE ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMISSION IN THE STATE
CAPITAL OR IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR]"
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
1:55:33 PM
SENATOR KIEHL explained that Amendment 2 would allow APOC to
maintain paper files in their offices and have them available on
their internet website. Version G requires the commission to
transfer paper files to the central office.
1:56:09 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection; he found no further
objection, and Amendment 2 was adopted.
1:56:16 PM
SENATOR SHOWER objected for discussion purposes.
SENATOR SHOWER said he imagines this was a positive change, but
he would like Ms. Hebron to comment.
1:56:36 PM
MS. HEBDON agreed this would avoid unnecessary shuttling of
paper to the Anchorage office. The majority of their files are
already posted to APOC's website related to lobbying activities.
1:57:21 PM
SENATOR SHOWER removed his objection.
CHAIR HOLLAND found no further objection, and Amendment 2 was
adopted.
1:57:36 PM
SENATOR SHOWER moved to adopt Amendment 3, work order 32-

32-LS0669\G.3

(1) during the first six months, the full
daily penalty provided by (a) of this section;
(2) during months seven to 11, 75 percent
of the daily penalty provided by (a) of this section;
(3) during months 12 to 18, 50 percent of
the daily penalty provided by (a) of this section; and
(4) after 18 months, 25 percent of the
daily penalty provided by (a) of this section."
Renumber the following bill sections accordingly.
1:57:46 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
1:58:01 PM
SCOTT OGAN, Staff, Senator Mike Shower, Alaska State
Legislature, explained that Amendment 3 related to penalties for
campaign finance violations. A candidate could pay $91,250 in
fines for a clerical error on their APOC report. Amendment 3
would establish a tiered system for penalties [as shown on page
2, lines 18-28], ranging from a full penalty for the first six
months to 25 percent of the daily penalty after 18 months. He
noted that on day 180 if something came to the attention of
APOC, a candidate would be liable for $9,000 in fines. He
believed that Amendment 3 would establish reasonable amounts and
a reasonable statute of limitations.
2:01:07 PM
SENATOR HUGHES asked if APOC fines were the same for clerical
errors as for something more egregious, such as a person
purposely hiding information.
MR. OGAN said he was unsure.
2:02:37 PM
SENATOR HUGHES restated her question.
MS. HEBDON answered that the maximum penalty is for any
violation, and the degree of violation was not contemplated.
However, under their penalty assessment procedure by regulation,
the commission has some leeway to consider a filer's history,
and certain aggravating factors are used for assessing maximum
penalties. Penalties are regularly reduced from the initial
assessment, and filers can appeal APOC decisions. APOC
encourages people to appeal fines. Although Mr. Ogan based his
maximum penalty figure on a five-year statute of limitations,
Version G reduces it from five years to 2 years. Using the $50
per day maximum penalty would result in $18,250 if nothing was
done during that time. She noted that the penalties would also
apply to sophisticated filers engaged in independent expenditure
activities, large political parties, and Political Action
Committees (PACS). The fines might seem shocking to a candidate,
but $18,250 could be considered the cost of doing business by
the larger groups.
2:05:17 PM
SENATOR SHOWER wondered if fines for individual candidates
should be handled separately from larger groups.
2:05:54 PM
SENATOR HUGHES referred to page 6, line 9, to Section 12 of HB
157, Version G, and Section 13 of Amendment 3. She asked if that
language includes political parties and PACS or solely pertains
to candidates.
2:07:16 PM
At ease
2:10:11 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND reconvened the meeting.
2:10:14 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND asked Senator Hughes to pose her question.
2:10:25 PM
SENATOR HUGHES asked whether the word "person" in Section 12 of
Version G and the word "person" in Section 13 in Amendment 3
relate to a candidate or a group.
MS. KOENEMAN responded that AS 15.13.400 provides definitions
for person, candidate, and group. She stated that Amendment 3
would expand the scope to more than the sponsor intended.
2:11:16 PM
SENATOR HUGHES asked for the definition of "person."
MS. KOENEMAN read AS 15.13.400 [(16)], which read: "'person' has
the meaning given in AS 01.10.060 and includes a labor union,
nongroup entity, and a group."
2:11:47 PM
SENATOR SHOWER stated the intent of Amendment 3 was to limit
onerous APOC fines for unintentional clerical errors by
individual candidates but not make it easy for larger groups to
be malicious since they could absorb the fines.
2:12:36 PM
SENATOR KIEHL asked if this language covers candidates making
innocent mistakes and candidates with which APOC has had ongoing
issues. He further asked whether there were specific APOC
statutes or regulations that could help distinguish between
innocent and willful acts.
MS. HEBDON responded that she was unaware that willful was
contemplated in APOC statutes for campaign disclosure. She
suggested that there might be a prohibition under financial
disclosure laws. She reiterated that when assessing penalties,
APOC considers the filer's history and whether they are
uncooperative, allowing APOC to impose the maximum amount. She
anticipated that staff would provide this information and their
recommendations for the commission's consideration on any
appeal.
2:14:44 PM
SENATOR KIEHL related his understanding that the commission has
a definition of "cooperative."
2:15:00 PM
MS. KOENEMAN directed attention to AS 15.13.390, relating to
civil penalty and late filing of required reports. She said
nothing mentions willful, and the language is vague about APOC's
ability. She noted that APOC regulations provide more leeway.
The statutes establish a civil penalty of not more than $50 a
day for failure to file a properly completed and certified
report timely or a civil penalty of not more than $500 a day for
each day the delinquency continues as determined by the
commission subject to a right of appeal to the superior court.
2:16:15 PM
SENATOR MYERS said he almost ran afoul of APOC with the year-end
filing when he inadvertently reported a $100 check as a $500
check. However, he did not receive notification until two months
after the filing deadline. Fortunately, he could provide proof,
so he was not in violation, and APOC waived the fine. However,
it illustrates how easy it would be to acquire delinquent fees.
2:17:51 PM
SENATOR SHOWER asked whether APOC considers whether the
violation is by a PAC versus an individual.
MS. HEBDON answered no. She stated that the commission has
discretion when issuing a final determination. She said she did
not think the final penalties assessed on candidates had been
overly egregious. She offered her view that there has been a
substantial reason for more significant penalties.
2:20:01 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection.
2:20:12 PM
SENATOR SHOWER withdrew Amendment 3.
CHAIR HOLLAND offered his view that the concept for Amendment 3
was valid, but it would need further work to meet the sponsor's
goal.
2:20:55 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND held HB 157 in committee.
SB 39-BALLOT CUSTODY/TAMPERING; VOTER REG; MAIL
2:21:08 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 39
"An Act relating to elections; relating to voter registration;
relating to ballots and a system of tracking and accounting for
ballots; establishing an election offense hotline; designating
as a class A misdemeanor the collection of ballots from other
voters; designating as a class C felony the intentional opening
or tampering with a sealed ballot, certificate, or package of
ballots without authorization from the director of the division
of elections; and providing for an effective date."
CHAIR HOLLAND noted that this was the third hearing. The
committee heard the introduction and took public testimony in
May 2021. He noted that there was a committee substitute (CS)
for the committee to consider.
2:21:32 PM
SENATOR SHOWER moved to adopt the CS for SB 39, work order 32-
LS0204\D, as the working document.
2:22:00 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND objected for discussion purposes.
2:22:11 PM
SCOTT OGAN, Staff, Senator Mike Shower, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, paraphrased the sectional analysis
for SB 39, Version D, on behalf of the sponsor. He stated that
the changes were extensive.

Sectional Analysis
CS for Senate Bill 39 (JUD) Version 32-LS0204\D
Section 1: This section deletes the requirement that a
person must be registered to vote before the election
in order to cast a ballot. Deleting this requirement
is necessary to allow for registration within 30 days
of an election, an option that is currently only
available for Presidential elections in Alaska.
Section 2: This section requires a person registering
to vote to sign an acknowledgement that if they were
previously registered in another jurisdiction, the
director of elections will notify the jurisdiction
that the person has registered to vote in Alaska and
request cancellation of the person's registration in
that jurisdiction. This section also allows a
registrant to submit an electronic image of their
signature (i.e. a photograph of their signature) for
purposes of voter registration, using procedures set
out by the Division of Elections. This section also
defines procedures for individuals registering to vote
within 30 days of an election, requiring that they
sign an affidavit attesting to residency requirements
for voting and provide identification establishing
residency.

requirement that people must register 30 days before an
election.
Section 3: This section provides that a registration
applicant can designate a language preference for
ballot and election materials among the written
languages required for election materials under
federal law. Once a person designates a language

canceled, or language coverage expires under federal
law.
Section 4: This section provides that anyone
registering within 30 days of an election may only

Section 7: This section provides that if a person
makes a request to transfer their registration from
one precinct to another within 30 days of an election,

or questioned ballot, not a regular ballot.
Section 9: This section re-names absentee voting
stations" as early voting stations."
Section 10: This section mandates that the Division of

2:26:10 PM
Section 13: This section re-organizes the provisions
governing watchers, with only one substantive change.

board exercises its discretion to request written
proof of appointment from a watcher, the proof must be
signed by the chair of the applicable party, district
committee, or organization, or by the candidate.
Section 14: This section requires official ballots to
include a watermark, seal, or other identifier,
according to regulation issued by the Director of
Elections.
Section 15: This section requires the Director of
Elections to issue regulations regarding ballot
security and chain of custody to account for the
location and custody of all ballots, certificates, and
envelopes from the time of printing until 22 months
after the applicable election is certified. The
Director shall also develop by regulation a process
for voiding unused, spoiled, and unopened ballots
following an election. The Director must also
establish a toll-free election offense hotline for
reporting of election offenses and publicize the
availability of this hotline.
Section 16: This section requires the Division of
Elections to provide language assistance at polling
places for languages required by federal law. The
availability of language assistance shall be
publicized at appropriate polling places.
2:27:15 PM
Section 17: This section moves the declaration for
questioned ballots to a new subsection contained in

Elections to make instructions regarding the online
system for tracking absentee ballots available to
absentee voters.
Section 22: This section requires the return envelope
for an absentee ballot to be postage-paid. This
section also removes the witness requirement for
absentee ballots, as this bill separately requires
signature verification for mail ballots.
Section 23: This section re-names "absentee voting
stations" as "early voting stations" and requires
designated early voting stations to remain in effect
until the location is no longer available for use as
an early voting station or the Director of Elections

is no longer appropriate for use as an early voting
station.
Section 24: This section re-names "absentee voting

early voting hours and allows appointed election
officials to also serve as registration officials.
Section 26: This section re-names "absentee voting
stations" as "early voting stations." Section 27: This
section re-names "absentee voting stations" as "early
voting stations."
2:30:05 PM
MR. OGAN continued to paraphrase the sectional analysis for SB
39.

officials verify that when a voter appears for early
voting, the voter's residence address, as it appears
on the registration list for the election where the
voter appears, is current.
Section 29: This section provides that if a voter's
eligibility cannot be immediately verified by an
election official, the voter shall cast an absentee
in-person. The voter's eligibility to vote can be
determined when the absentee ballot is evaluated for
counting.
Section 30: This section provides that an absentee
ballot application may be provided by mail only when
an eligible voter requests an application. Such
applications must be sent to a voter only by U.S. mail
and only by the Division of Elections, an officially
registered candidate, a recognized political party, or
a group sponsoring a ballot measure, and may not be
pre-filled for the voter. An application must
prominently identify its sender and display
"Application only/Not a ballot" on the exterior of the
envelope.
Section 31: This section re-names "absentee voting
stations" as early voting stations."
Section 32: This section provides that an absentee
ballot application must permit a person to declare a
political party affiliation. In addition, an absentee
ballot application submitted electronically shall also
allow a person to register to vote
Section 33: This section removes the requirement that
absentee ballots be witnessed or attested to before an
official, as this bill separately requires signature
verification for mail ballots.
2:32:06 PM
MR. OGAN continued to paraphrase the sectional analysis for SB
39.
[Original punctuation provided.]
Section 34: This section permits a ballot received
after election day to be accepted if a U.S. Postal
Service tracking barcode information verifies that the
ballot was mailed on or before election day,
notwithstanding the absence of a postmark or a
postmark after election day.
Section 35: This section provides that an absentee
ballot application must include an option for a voter
to receive absentee ballots for all regularly
scheduled elections. The voter will not be required to
reapply for an absentee ballot unless the voter has
not voted an absentee ballot for four years or an
absentee ballot is returned as undeliverable. This
section also provides that if a voter requests to
receive a mail ballot in a language other than English
required by federal law, the Director of Elections
shall provide the ballot and election materials in the
language requested.
2:32:55 PM
MR. OGAN continued to paraphrase the sectional analysis for SB
39.
[Original punctuation provided.]
Section 36: This section allows absentee ballot
certificates and envelopes to be reviewed beginning 10

date of the election, (c} the ballot is delivered by
mail after election day and is not postmarked on or
before election day or does not have a U.S. Postal
Service tracking barcode that verifies mailing on or
before election day, or (d) the signature on the
certificate is not consistent with the signature in
the voter's registration record. This section also
removes the basis for rejecting an absentee ballot due
to lack of a witness or attesting official signature.
2:34:32 PM
Section 40: This section provides guidelines for
signature verification on absentee ballot envelope
certificates. Such signature matching shall include
signature comparison software, according to

if the ballot has been reviewed and counted, and
receive instructions for curing the ballot. This

MR. OGAN continued to paraphrase the sectional analysis for SB
39.
[Original punctuation provided.]
Section 56: This section repeals provisions requiring
notice of rejected absentee ballots to be provided to

regulations necessary to implement the changes in the
bill. The regulations take effect under the

regulation.
2:41:09 PM
Section 59: This section specifies that Section 45
takes effect January 1, 2028.
Section 60: This section specifies that Section 58
takes effect immediately.
Section 61: This section specifies that the remaining
provisions of the bill take effect January 1, 2023.
2:41:46 PM
SENATOR SHOWER noted that SB 39 had been a long process that
included working with other legislators to craft a bipartisan
bill. He characterized it as a complicated bill. He acknowledged
that the bill was a work in progress, so some technical changes
or minor changes may be necessary. He stated the intent was to
create a bill that would take some initial steps.
2:44:27 PM
SENATOR HUGHES asked whether similar legislation was in the
House.
SENATOR SHOWER answered yes. Although there were differences in
the bills, he was continuing to hold discussions on ballot
custody and elections to craft legislation that may pass the
legislature this year.
2:46:39 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND removed his objection; he found no further
objection, and Version D was adopted.
2:46:59 PM
SENATOR HUGHES referred to Section 28, which requires the
official to verify whether the voter's address is still current.
She asked whether the person could still vote if their address
was not current. She further asked for the process to update the
address in the system.
2:47:34 PM
MR. OGAN responded that Section 28 is existing law. The only
change was to add "for that election" to provide specificity.
2:48:21 PM
SENATOR MYERS referred to Section 5. He said that it appeared as
though the voter's political party would be listed on the
absentee envelope.
SENATOR SHOWER answered yes.
SENATOR MYERS related that the country had held discussions
about voter access and election integrity, but voter anonymity
is vital. He acknowledged some secrecy is given up when voting
absentee but was concerned about the loss of anonymity by
putting someone's party affiliation on the absentee ballot
envelope. It might give someone a clue about the vote cast.
MR. OGAN answered that a lot of information is on the absentee
ballot envelope. However, he was unsure of the details. The
division has poll watchers, and the ballot does not stay with
the envelope, although the envelope is preserved for 22 months
by federal law.
2:51:31 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND asked whether the party affiliation was necessary
to verify the voter's identity to confirm voter eligibility.
2:51:49 PM
SENATOR MYERS stated that he was not concerned about someone
voting an in-person absentee ballot. He understood separating
the ballot in its secrecy envelope from the outside envelope. He
said that when someone fills out their ballot at their home and
mails it, it will be handled by mail carriers and contractors
before arriving at the Division of Elections office. He
indicated that the voter is tipping their hand because their
party affiliation is listed on the envelope.
2:52:57 PM
SENATOR SHOWER offered his view that this is a "may" not
"shall." He was unsure whether the voter had to fill it out. He
offered to follow up and report to the committee.
CHAIR HOLLAND referred to Section 5 relating to absentee in-
person voting. He noted that Senator Myers spoke about a regular
ballot that voters fill out at their residences. The division
would use this information for questioned or absentee ballots to
determine if the ballot is valid before it is comingled.
2:54:21 PM
SENATOR KIEHL referred to Section 30 on page 13. The division,
registered candidate, recognized political party or a group
sponsoring a ballot measure may provide an absentee ballot
application by mail when an eligible voter expressly requests an
application. He wondered about the rationale, risk, or problem
for restricting people from sending out forms to encourage
people to vote.
2:55:29 PM
MR. OGAN explained that Section 30 was in the original version
of the bill. He noted one issue was that the language says
"application," not "ballot," on the envelope's exterior. The
sponsor heard that people were receiving ballot applications and
thought it was the actual ballot. Lots of groups send out
absentee ballot applications. People called the division to
state they had not requested a ballot application. This
provision would require the person to request a ballot, and only
the division, officially registered candidate, or recognized
party can send a ballot application. The ballot application
materials must clearly identify it as an absentee ballot
request. Although it is not addressed in this section, all
official ballots must have a watermark. He stated that the goal
is to make it hard to cheat but easy to vote.
2:57:48 PM
SENATOR KIEHL agreed that reducing confusion for voters was an
excellent service. He noted that he sent a newsletter to all
constituents when the pandemic began and put a form in each one.
He recalled placing a starburst on the envelope indicating a
vote by mail form or an absentee ballot request form was
enclosed. He offered his view that getting people the form to
request a ballot makes it easier for them to vote. He was unsure
about the restrictions that make it less easy to exercise
options.
MR. OGAN responded that voters would have plenty of
opportunities because an officially registered candidate,
recognized party, or group sponsoring a ballot measure would
send the voter a ballot application.
SENATOR SHOWER remarked that the Republican Party recommended
the provision to allow political parties to send out ballot
applications. He said he did not view this as limiting people.
3:00:28 PM
CHAIR HOLLAND held SB 39 in committee.
3:00:37 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair Holland adjourned the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee
