Overview
This bill allows county and municipal clerks to rotate the order of candidate names on primary election ballots under specific circumstances. It outlines a process for political parties to request this rotation, requiring a review and approval by the county board of elections. If approved, the clerks can then implement a rotation algorithm to ensure candidates appear roughly equally often on ballots, either by election district or individually to voters. The bill also addresses how to handle candidates with multiple open seats and establishes guidelines for ballot design and security.
