AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS -- LOCAL CANVASSING AUTHORITIES

Summary

The law requires each city and town to appoint a three‑member bipartisan canvassing authority, with members chosen from party voter lists submitted by local party chairs. It sets six‑year staggered terms, defines alternates, and makes the town or city clerk (or a designated chief election official) the primary election contact and the only person who can request voter‑register system access. The changes aim to improve transparency and balance in local election administration.
