Election Integrity: Protecting Officials and Limiting Voter Challenges.

This law establishes rules protecting local election officials from politically motivated removal, ensuring impartial vote counting and administration. It also restricts the ability of private citizens to challenge a voter's eligibility on Election Day, requiring personal knowledge and sworn documentation to prevent mass, unfounded challenges and safeguard your right to vote.
Key points
Protection for Election Officials: State administrators can only remove local officials for clear inefficiency, neglect, or misconduct, not for political reasons, ensuring stable election management.
Restrictions on Voter Challenges: Private individuals cannot challenge a voter's eligibility on Election Day if the grounds were known earlier; all challenges must be based on personal knowledge and a sworn statement.
Stability in Elections: These changes aim to ensure consistent and unbiased management of federal elections by insulating local administrators from partisan pressure.
