Title: Establishes a Process for Notifying Families Whose Relatives Living in Retirement Communities Intend to Vote

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that establishes a process for notifying families whose relatives intend to vote with the assistance of Special Voting Deputies in nursing homes in the state of Wisconsin.

Highlights:

  • Requires the administrator, or the administrator's designee, to provide notice by email of the dates and times when the deputies will be visiting the residential care facility or qualified retirement home to each individual designated as a contact by the occupant who intends to vote by absentee ballot with the special voting deputies (Sec. 1-5).

  • Requires the circuit court to notify the Elections Commission, by email, of the court's determination regarding incompetency and ineligibility to vote (Sec. 1-5)

  • Specifies that an individual who votes in an election but does not have the necessary qualifications to vote is guilty of a Class I felony (Sec. 1-5)

  • Specifies that the aforementioned penalty does not apply to an individual who has been determined ineligible to vote due to incompetency, but the individual's vote is excluded from the final tally for that election (Sec. 1-5).
