HB 2453
Outcome: passed
AFL-CIO Key Vote: OPPOSE
Bill Restricts Advance Voting and Shortens Voter Registration Window
HB 2453 cuts off in-person advance voting before election week, moves the voter registration deadline to 25 days before the election, and requires mail ballot applications 14 days earlier. These restrictions hit shift workers, hourly employees, and newly organized members hardest — the very people who rely on weekend voting and late registration because their work schedules don't allow flexibility. The bill also compresses the window unions use for worksite voter registration drives ahead of elections.
