AN ACT PROHIBITING THE POSSESSION OR USE OF MOBILE PHONES WHEREVER BALLOTS ARE BEING COUNTED.

HB 6009 prohibits the possession or use of mobile phones and similar devices in any room where ballots are being counted. This law directly affects election workers and officials handling vote tabulation during elections. The key provision requires banning all mobile devices in counting locations to prevent premature disclosure of vote results before official announcement. The bill aims to maintain election integrity by ensuring result information remains confidential until formally released.
