Relating to an opportunity to correct certain defects in an early voting ballot voted by mail.

Contracts

• Government Software Vendors: Review Statements of Work (SOW) with County Clerks. Current "read-only" ballot tracking contracts are now insufficient; you must scope and price the addition of interactive "write-back" functionality to allow voter corrections.
• Print & Mail Houses: Renegotiate Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to guarantee a turnaround time that accommodates the Clerk's statutory requirement to mail notices "not later than the second day" after a defect is discovered.

Hiring/Training

• Customer Support: Software vendor support teams must be trained on the new "cure" interface to assist County staff.
• Logistics Personnel: Couriers and mailroom staff must be briefed on the handling of "Corrective Action Forms," as the law explicitly authorizes common carriers for these returns.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Audit Trails: Software providers must enhance system logging. Because the law grants poll watchers the right to observe the cure process, your system must immutably log when a defect notification was triggered and when a correction was received to withstand legal scrutiny.
• New Documentation: Integrate the SOS-prescribed "Corrective Action Form" into all document management systems used by Election Administrators.

Fees & Costs

• Development Costs: Tech vendors will incur non-recoverable engineering costs to upgrade portals unless current contracts allow for billable change orders.
• Postage & Printing: Counties will face increased costs for expedited mailing of cure notices; vendors should adjust volume pricing models accordingly.
