Election law offenses; filings of complaints with attorney for the Commonwealth. Provides that complaints of violations involving false statements on registration applications shall be filed with the attorney for the Commonwealth of the county or city where the applicant seeks to register. Present law provides generally that a complaint of an election law violation is to be filed where the offense occurred. A case involving a false application to register by mail was dismissed when it was brought in the jurisdiction that received the application because the application had been mailed and the Commonwealth could not show where the offense occurred.
