Permits party member, candidate, or designee to be present for ballot position draw and inspect materials used for drawing; requires officials conducting ballot draw to provide notice of date, time, and location of drawing.
This bill requires election officials to provide 72 hours' notice of ballot position drawing dates, times, and locations to all candidates and political parties. It allows candidates, their designees, or party members to observe the drawing process and inspect the materials (paper slips, capsules, and boxes) used before, during, and after the draw. The bill applies to all elections determining ballot order, including general, primary, and school board elections. These changes aim to increase transparency in how candidate and party positions are randomly assigned on ballots.
