Bill > A09650

This bill clarifies that it is a mandatory and non-discretionary duty for each board of elections, and its members, to send a certified copy of the canvassing board's statements to the state board of elections, either by mail or personal delivery. Canvassing boards are responsible for tallying votes in elections, and their statements summarize these results. The state board of elections is the central authority overseeing election processes. This provision ensures that the state board receives these crucial election results in a timely manner, reinforcing the existing requirement for transmission within twenty-five days after an election.
