Establishes a nonpartisan poll monitoring program
This bill creates a nonpartisan poll monitoring program that allows civic organizations and ballot issue committees to appoint up to two monitors per polling place. To participate, these groups must submit an application to the state board of elections at least 32 days before an election, providing proof of their nonpartisan purpose, training materials, and a volunteer pledge. The board will review and approve or deny these requests within a specific timeframe, with an appeal process available for denials. Approved monitors must wear official badges and credentials issued by the relevant election board while observing voters' rights and election procedures.
