Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds the word "summary" for clarity to a section outlining the responsibilities of the State Elections Enforcement Commission and the Secretary of the State regarding absentee voting laws. This change ensures that the summary of absentee voting requirements and prohibitions will be clearly identified in the text. It matters because it reinforces the requirement for candidates and political party chairpersons to distribute this summary to their campaign and party personnel.
