prevent a member of a governing body from assisting in the canvass of the votes for an office for which the member is a candidate.

This bill prohibits members of a governing body from helping count votes for an office they are running for. It directly affects elected officials and their staff by restricting their involvement in the vote-counting process for their own campaigns. The key provision bars any assistance in canvassing votes when a member is a candidate for that specific office. This rule aims to prevent conflicts of interest during election procedures.
