Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 766 specifies that the absentee ballot pilot program will now include information about its impact based on feedback from 34 residents of Greene County. This change adds a local perspective to the program, ensuring that the voices of community members are considered in the evaluation of how the absentee ballot system functions. This matters because it aims to make the program more responsive to the needs and experiences of actual voters in that area.
