MODERATE

This bill amends staffing requirements for local election boards, shifting the focus from all boards to only those in counties with over 10,000 active registered voters. It clarifies that the minimum staffing count includes commissioners and deputies, and extends the timeline for full compliance to three years instead of two.

Scope change

The bill's applicability is narrowed from every board of elections to only boards of elections in counties with more than 10,000 active registered voters.

ELIGIBILITY

Staffing requirements now apply only to boards of elections in counties with over 10,000 active registered voters, excluding smaller jurisdictions.

REQUIREMENT

The minimum staffing count of four employees now explicitly includes full-time commissioners and deputies, whereas the previous version required four employees in addition to commissioners.

The mandate for hiring two additional employees annually until the minimum is met was removed from the text.

TIMELINE

The deadline to meet the minimum staffing requirement was extended from two years to three years from the effective date.
