AN ACT CONCERNING ELECTION STATUTES RELATED TO FILINGS WITH THE SUPERIOR COURT.

HB 7230 amends Connecticut election laws to streamline how voters and candidates can challenge election results in court. It allows individuals or candidates for specific statewide offices (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, etc.) to file complaints with Hartford or Bridgeport Superior Courts within 14 days of an election (or 7 days for manual ballot recounts) if they believe errors occurred in vote counting, election official rulings, or violations of specific election statutes. The bill requires complainants to send copies of their filings to the State Elections Enforcement Commission and mandates courts to hold hearings within 3-5 days, with final decisions binding unless appealed under new procedures. This is a procedural change affecting election dispute resolution, not a policy shift on voting rules or eligibility.
