S15 requires the Secretary of State to mail every active voter a postage-paid ballot for each general election.
The Vermont State Assembly passed S15 on May 12, 2021 by a vote of 119 to 30. We have assigned pluses to the nays because sending a ballot to every active voter compromises the integrity of the election. This may lead to illegal voting and the system could easily be taken advantage of. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that citizens of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment.
