VOTERS/VOTING: Creates the Task Force on Election Cost Efficiency and Alignment to study mechanisms to support and promote voter participation.
This bill establishes a task force to examine ways to improve voter participation and reduce election costs. The group will study specific mechanisms that could support and encourage more people to vote. Although the text includes a minor amendment changing a date from 2025 to 2024, the primary purpose is to create this study committee. The legislation directly involves state officials who will form and lead the task force.
