Election Law - Petitions and Ballot Questions - Contents, Plain Language Requirement, and Procedures

Summary

The bill changes what must appear on petition signature pages, forcing a brief title, a plain‑language summary, and a statement of each voting choice’s practical outcome. It also sets new deadlines for certifying ballot questions, adds a 15‑day public comment period, and requires state and local election boards to post the complete text of specified constitutional and statutory questions for at least 90 days before a general election. These steps aim to make ballot measures clearer and more accessible to voters.
