What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, whenever a voter believes that an election official has acted contrary to law, or failed to act in accordance with the law, in performing his or her duties, the voter may file a written sworn complaint with the Elections Commission.
However, the voter must be a voter in the jurisdiction or district in which the alleged action or inaction occurred. This bill allows an adult child or parent of a voter to file a written sworn complaint with the commission on behalf of a voter regardless of whether the adult child or parent is a voter in the jurisdiction or district in which the alleged action or inaction occurred. In addition, under the bill, whenever a voter believes that a person has engaged in prohibited election practices in the voter's jurisdiction or district, such as impersonating a registered voter or voting more than once in the same election, the voter may file a written sworn complaint with the commission. The bill also allows an adult child or parent of the voter to file a complaint regardless of whether the adult child or parent is a voter in that jurisdiction or district.
