Fiscal Detail and Notes
This act clarifies that the signed statement of the Treasurer of the State regarding the ratification of a bond issue may be printed on the ballot or may be printed as a separate document made available to voters.  It also amends the laws governing absentee voters, clarifies requirements of voter's lists, and provides for recounts only if requested by the apparent losing candidate.  Minor cost savings could be achieved by not requiring the signed Treasurer's statement to be printed on the ballot.
