Vote by mail isn’t going anywhere. Here’s how lawmakers plan to make it more secure.

Utah House of Representatives

In this episode of House Rules, Majority Leader Jeff Moss sits down with Rep. Jefferson Burton to discuss his election security bill, H.B. 300. Rep. Burton aims to increase voter confidence by requiring in-person ballot drop-off with ID verification, streamlining election processes, and eliminating the need for signature verification.

He highlights concerns about Utah’s mail-in voting system compared to other Republican-led states and discusses how lessons from Florida’s election system helped shape the bill.
