What’s in it

This bill relates to straight party voting. The bill allows a voter to vote for all candidates of a single party that has multiple candidates on a ballot by marking a voting target on the first section of the ballot. In cases where more than one person is being elected to a single office, the voter must mark each candidate for whom the voter desires to vote if the candidates do not all belong to the party for which the voter cast a straight party vote. If there is a conflict between a straight party vote and a vote for a candidate not of that party, the vote for the individual controls. The bill applies to elections held on or after the effective date of the bill.
