Abstract

State and local elections officials; acceptance of certain gifts and funding prohibited. Prohibits state and local elections officials from soliciting, accepting, using, or disposing of any moneys, grants, property, or services given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding voter education and outreach programs, voter registration programs, or any other expense incurred in the conduct of elections. The bill specifically provides that it is not a violation of this prohibition to (i) operate a polling place or voter satellite office in a facility furnished by a private individual or nongovernmental entity or (ii) accept a federal government grant funded in whole or part by donations from private individuals or nongovernmental entities. This bill is identical to SB 80.
