Modifies provisions for boards of election commissioners

HB 3494 modifies election administration rules for specific large counties and cities by requiring certain jurisdictions to establish boards of election commissioners instead of having county clerks manage elections. It applies to counties with over 900,000 residents, cities not in counties, and counties containing cities over 300,000 residents, with a transition provision for counties changing classification after 1998. The bill changes the administrative structure for election management in these areas without altering voting policies or procedures.
