AI Summary
This bill mandates that if a county or municipal executive committee, which are local political party organizations responsible for various election-related tasks, decides to enter into a written agreement to delegate all of its election duties to the circuit clerk (for county-level elections) or municipal clerk (for city-level elections), or their respective election commissions, then the clerk or election commission must accept and enter into that agreement. This change aims to streamline election administration by allowing these local officials to take on the full responsibilities of the executive committees if an agreement is reached, provided the political party meets certain eligibility criteria based on past voting performance in gubernatorial elections.
