Bill > HB06009

This bill aims to modify existing election laws by prohibiting the possession or use of mobile phones or similar electronic devices in the specific rooms where ballots are being counted. The primary purpose is to prevent the premature disclosure of vote results before their official announcement. By restricting access to communication devices in ballot counting areas, the bill seeks to maintain the integrity of the election process and ensure that vote tallies are not leaked or shared with the public before the authorized time. This proposed legislation would apply to any location where ballots are being processed and counted, with the intent of protecting the confidentiality of election results until they can be formally and officially communicated by election authorities.
