BILL NUMBER:S2248
Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to certification of the vote
Purpose
Requires county boards of elections to provide the state board of elections with votes cast for all nominations.
Summary of provisions
Amends §9-200, subdivision 3 to omit the last phrase, "in a district extended beyond the political unit for which the board is acting." This will allow the state board to receive all election results for judicial district delegates and state committee members throughout the state so that when the certification of delegates and alternates is made, the state board will have a listing of the election results for every delegate, alternate and committeeperson including those wholly contained within a county.
The bill would require that county boards of elections provide a certified copy of the votes cast for ALL nominations for party positions INCLUDING those where the district is wholly contained within the county.
Justification
The state board of elections is required to furnish the chairs of state parties with a list of duly elected members of state committees as well as a certification of those elected to judicial nominating conventions. Presently, the information provided to the state board from county boards of elections does not include the votes cast for those persons elected at the primary election for these offices whose districts do not cross county lines. If the state board is to certify the results of all members of the state committee and judicial nominating conventions, the tabulated statements of votes cast for all of these offices, even those wholly contained within the county, should be provided to the state board of elections.
Fiscal impact
Unknown.
