election officials; oversight; candidates

SB 1455 prohibits public officers or employees whose duties involve election administration from running for office in the same election, except for precinct committeeman. It directly affects election workers, such as poll workers or election administrators, who would be barred from seeking elected office during the election cycle they are administering. The bill creates a clear conflict-of-interest rule by requiring these officials to step aside from their election duties if they become candidates. This is a procedural policy change focused on maintaining impartiality in election operations.
