Establishes a joint committee of the House and Senate Committees on Privileges and Elections to study the streamlining of special elections in the Commonwealth. In conducting its study, the joint committee is to (i) review the current laws governing special elections, (ii) evaluate the costs borne in recent years by the localities to conduct special elections as compared to voter turnout at such elections, and (iii) consider options for a cohesive set of laws to govern special elections and for scheduling special elections, including the merits of establishing a uniform schedule. General registrars, members of local electoral boards, and other elections administrators will be invited to participate in the study.
