AI Summary

  • Removes party lines (rows/columns) from ballots for all elections except presidential and gubernatorial races, requiring candidates' names to appear only once per office rather than multiple times for each party that nominates them

  • Retains cross-endorsement voting (fusion voting) only for presidential and gubernatorial elections, where candidates nominated by multiple parties can still appear on separate party lines

  • Eliminates column/row designating numbers for non-presidential and non-gubernatorial races, consolidating each office into its own section of the ballot

  • Requires that above, below, or to the right of each candidate's name, the names of all political parties or independent bodies nominating that candidate be printed in less prominent type

  • Takes effect one year after becoming law and applies to all elections occurring on or after that date
