Do Pass
Summary
The bill changes the election law so that the local canvass must be held at 9 a.m. on the first Tuesday after an election, and the state Board of Canvassers must begin its review at 9 a.m. on the second Tuesday. It also lets the state board pause for up to ten days if county returns are missing. These timing rules affect election officials, board members, and ultimately voters and candidates by defining when results are officially tallied.
