Elections; requiring county election board to provide certain training to county law enforcement. Effective date.

SB 525 requires county election boards to provide approved training to county sheriffs and law enforcement officers on securing election materials and processes. This directly affects county election boards and local law enforcement agencies, mandating specific training to protect ballots, voter records, and election equipment. The key provision (Section C.3) specifies that training must cover securing elections per state law and ballots under Section 14-115.4, with approval from the Secretary of the State Election Board. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not create new funding or change voting procedures.
