ND SB2254

Establishes central voter file system managed by Secretary of State in cooperation with Department of Transportation and county auditors, with each voter assigned a unique identifier and designated as "active" or "inactive" based on voting history.

Modifies absentee ballot procedures to allow processing and counting beginning the day before election day through election day closing, with results from absentee ballot precincts released under chapter 16.1-15 requirements.

Requires Secretary of State to electronically transmit certified nomination lists and election information to county auditors rather than physical delivery, and changes abstract submission deadlines from tenth to eighth day after elections.

Updates terminology throughout election law to use "abstract" instead of "statement" for canvassing board documents and "individual" instead of "person" in various election provisions.

Extends petition deadlines for public library establishment from 60 to 90 days and weather modification authority abolishment from 45 to 60 days prior to elections.
