CT HB05424

Allows deputy registrars of voters who are candidates for the office of registrar of voters to perform their official duties on election day, matching the existing exception for municipal clerks and registrars of voters running for the same office.

Reorganizes and clarifies the composition of election official positions at polling places, including moderators, official checkers, assistant registrars, challengers, ballot clerks, and voting tabulator tenders, with specified minimum and maximum numbers for each role.

Expands the permitted categories of people allowed within polling places to explicitly include election officials under section 9-258, specifically noting that candidates serving as municipal clerks, registrars of voters, or deputy registrars may perform their official duties while at the polls.

Maintains the restriction that election officials cannot perform services for any party or candidate on election day and must avoid appearing at political party headquarters before 8:00 p.m. on election day.
