AI Summary

This bill amends North Dakota's election laws to expand the definition of election offenses and provide more access for election observers. Specifically, it prohibits obstructing or causing a disturbance near polling places, clarifies that election observers can view all stages of the election process, and allows any individual (except a candidate on the ballot) to serve as an election observer by informing the election inspector. The bill also outlines various election-related offenses, such as fraudulently altering ballots or voting more than once, and establishes criminal penalties for those violations. Additionally, it specifies organizational fines and potential revocation of business authorizations for organizations that commit election offenses.
