Comment 5

5.a. Regulatory Provision:  None included regarding protection of vulnerable people at assisted living facilities for absentee voting.

5.b. My Recommendation:

Add a paragraph to:

-Require administrators of residential care facilities and retirement homes to notify residents' relatives of when special voting deputies will be on site for residents who plan to vote absentee.

-Make it a felony for a facility employee who attempt to influence a resident's vote.

5.c. My Comment: 

Again, there should be a code of behavior for electioneering at nursing homes, assisted living facilities.  Our elders should be respected and protected from being preyed upon by unscrupulous actors attempting to gather votes from people upon whom they try to influence to vote.
