Bill Summary

To require that all persons appointed to serve as moderators, including as head moderators, at an election or primary be certified by the Secretary of the State and meet the qualifications for such certification.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Connecticut election law to establish stricter qualifications for individuals appointed as moderators at elections and primaries. Specifically, the bill prohibits registrars of voters from appointing any person as a moderator who has been convicted or pled guilty or no contest to certain criminal offenses, including felonies involving fraud, forgery, larceny, embezzlement, or bribery, or any criminal offense related to elections. The bill applies these restrictions to both regular moderators and alternate moderators, ensuring that individuals with a history of certain criminal activities cannot serve in these critical election administration roles. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, and apply to both the appointment of moderators in individual voting districts and the designation of head moderators responsible for declaring election results. By implementing these restrictions, the bill aims to enhance the integrity and public trust in the election process by preventing individuals with potentially compromising criminal backgrounds from serving in key election official positions.
