The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1204, mandates the appointment of an election monitor in municipalities with populations of at least 140,000 for each primary and election occurring in 2025 and 2026. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by detecting and preventing any irregularities or improprieties in election administration procedures and the conduct of elections within these municipalities.

This bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for an election monitor, but does not include any deletions from current law. The initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the electoral process during the specified election years.
