BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-Donald W. Jensen, Chairperson
RE: HOUSE BILL 4964 (OPPOSE) PERMITTING EARLY VOTERS TO RETURN
BALLOTS ON ELECTION DAY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS under provisions of House Bill 4964, a qualified and
registered voter may vote early by obtaining an absent voter ballot
and returning it on election day before the polls close; and
WHEREAS existing law requires absentee voters to return voted
ballots before the polls open on election day; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4964 raises several other concerns in that
it would result in additional work for clerks on election day and
would require a separate counting board and separate accounting for
early voters in order to report back to the state; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4964 fails to address, if the early voter
uses the regular voter application, what reason should be
specified.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes House Bill 4964.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
sent to all Oakland County legislators, the Legislative Agent,
State Government Liaison and the Michigan Association of Counties.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
