Bill Summary

This bill creates an Election Management and Consolidation Commission in the Department of State to study and make recommendations to improve the administration and management of elections in this State, with a particular focus on reducing redundancies and inefficiencies. The commission will consist of all 21 county clerks, two members of each county board of elections, one of each represented political party, and the Secretary of State, or their designee. The members will not be paid but may be reimbursed for necessary expenses within the limitations of funds available to the commission. The commission will have one year from the date of its first meeting to prepare recommendations, including aspects of elections that may benefit from centralization in the Division of Elections in the Department of State, for the Governor and the Legislature to consider. The commission will expire upon the provision of this report.
