The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6742, seeks to amend title 9 of the general statutes to prohibit the state and municipalities from accepting funding for elections-related expenses from specific sources. The bill explicitly states that no money shall be accepted from individuals, for-profit organizations, or nonprofit organizations for purposes such as the administration of elections and voter registration efforts.
The intent of this legislation is to ensure that elections-related funding is not influenced by external parties, thereby promoting the integrity of the electoral process. By prohibiting these types of funding sources, the bill aims to safeguard the administration of elections and maintain public trust in the electoral system.
