Summary

The bill lets a registered candidate who is harmed by an election‑law violation file a civil action against the state if the appropriate officer does not act. The candidate must first send a written demand within a year of discovering the violation and then sue within six months of the officer’s refusal. If the court finds in the candidate’s favor, the state receives the fine and the candidate gets 30% of the award plus reasonable legal costs.
