HB 105 Write-in votes; threshold amount required for certain actions by electoral boards.
Introduced by: Mark L. Cole (by request) | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Elections; write-in votes; threshold amount required for certain actions by electoral boards. Saves time and resources for electoral boards in accounting for write-in votes after the election by eliminating the five percent threshold, instead allowing the electoral board to forgo determining the total votes each write-in candidate received and requiring the abstract of votes to contain only the total number of write-in votes cast when the total number of write-in votes cast for a particular office is less than the total number of votes cast for the candidate receiving the most votes for that office.
