Allows election challengers to be present any time ballots are being cast

Summary

The bill lets each party named on the ballot assign a challenger who can stay at a polling place while votes are cast, and a watcher who can stay while ballots are counted. Challengers and watchers must be registered voters who meet the same qualifications as election judges and must be approved by the local election authority before the election. The measure was intended to give parties more oversight of voting and counting, but it failed to pass.
