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 election administration by detecting and preventing any irregularities or improprieties during the management of these electoral processes.

This bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for an election monitor in specified municipalities, but does not include any deletions from current law. The initiative aims to enhance the oversight of elections in larger municipalities, thereby promoting transparency and public confidence in the electoral system.
