AI Summary

This bill standardizes the requirements for specifying objections to designating petitions, independent nominating petitions, certificates of nomination, or other ballot access documents. It removes the authority of local boards of election to make their own rules regarding the filing and disposition of such objections. The bill outlines specific requirements for the content and service of objection specifications, and requires boards of election to provide notice and an opportunity for the objector and candidate to be heard before making a determination on the sufficiency of the petition or certificate. The bill also allows the board to dismiss an objection without a hearing if it determines the filing does not meet the criteria to be presumptively valid.
