SB 430 Summary

• Allows registrars of voters to give notice of elector admission sessions via the town's Internet website in addition to newspaper publication, with notice required 5-15 days before each session.

• Eliminates the "board for admission of electors" as a separate entity and consolidates appeals authority to the registrars of voters, with final appeals going to the State Elections Enforcement Commission (effective October 1, 2018).

• Removes the requirement for registrars to hold a specific session on the Tuesday of the fifth week before elections; instead requires completion of the correct elector list before each regular election with flexible scheduling.

• Modifies training requirements for registrars to focus on an 8-hour annual training program, eliminating the separate mandatory election law and procedures training guide requirement.

• Repeals sections related to board for admission of electors and removes related references throughout statutes to streamline the elector registration and appeals process.
