AN ACT ESTABLISHING A COMMISSION AND PILOT PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE GREATER VOTER PARTICIPATION IN THE STATE.

SB 1109 establishes a state commission to study methods for increasing voter participation, including civic education improvements, potential incentives, and support for local election officials. It also creates a pilot program allowing municipalities to adjust their voting rules and procedures with state funding to test strategies for boosting turnout. The commission will gather data and best practices to inform future state-wide efforts aiming for higher participation rates. This bill directly affects local municipalities and election administrators, focusing on research and testing rather than immediate policy changes.
