AN ACT CONCERNING A MUNICIPAL ELECTION MONITOR.

SB 1204 requires municipalities with populations of at least 140,000 to hire an election monitor for every primary and general election held in 2025 and 2026. These monitors would specifically observe election administration procedures and conduct to detect and prevent irregularities. The bill applies only to large cities meeting the population threshold during the 2025-2026 election cycle, with no ongoing requirements beyond that period. (Bill: SB 1204, Introduced by Sen. Gadkar-Wilcox)
