HB 6324 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT LIMITING THE AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE WITH REGARD TO ELECTION LAWS.

HB 6324 restricts the Secretary of the State's authority over election administration. It limits the Secretary's power to issue certain election-related orders, removes the legal presumption that their regulations correctly interpret election laws, and prevents them from seeking court enforcement against local election officials for noncompliance. This directly affects how election rules are enforced, impacting the Secretary and local election administrators like registrars of voters. The bill changes enforcement mechanisms without altering voting procedures or eligibility rules.
