Introduced
by
To limit the authority of the state board of canvassers to determine whether sufficient signatures have been turned in on a candidate nominating petition. This authority would be transferred to the director of the elections bureau in the Secretary of State office, although a majority of the board of canvassers could overrule the director. There are two Republicans and two Democrats on the four-member board, so a decision to overrule would have to be bi-partisan.
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the bill pass.
