Key points No major election bill has been passed since the implementation of no-excuse mail voting in 2020. Efforts to change voting laws have stalled.
Efforts to change voting laws have stalled. Despite initial bipartisan support, the issue has become deeply partisan. No major election bill has been passed since the implementation of no-excuse mail voting in 2020. Bills often pass in one chamber, but fail to progress in the other.
A board intended to provide bipartisan solutions has not been utilized. The current state of voting laws may change if one party gains control of the state government. Further details on potential policy changes and the impact of a single-party government are available from Votebeat.
The possibility of a shift in power could lead to changes in voting laws, but the specifics of such changes are not yet clear.
