SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Election day page program. Permits participants in the election day page program to assist in the counting of unmarked ballots at any time, at the direction and under the direct supervision of the chief officer of election. Currently, election pages are only permitted to assist in the counting of unmarked ballots prior to the opening of the polls.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Election day page program. Provides for an election day page program for adult volunteers similar to that currently available to high school students. The bill requires that adult volunteers be selected by the electoral board or general registrar and receive training on the duties, responsibilities, and prohibited conduct of election day pages. The bill limits the activities in which election day pages, including adult volunteers, may participate.
