Relates to permitting candidates to be employed by a board of elections

S 799 permits candidates for public office to remain employed by a board of elections while running for office, provided the board’s commissioners approve with a majority vote. It requires candidates to be restricted from working on election matters in their own district and mandates the state board to create rules governing this employment. The bill also allows candidates to stay on payroll for up to 90 days before a general election if no primary exists for their office. This replaces a previous ban on such employment, creating a formal process for candidates to maintain their positions under specific conditions.
