Purpose and intent

The title suggests a broad overhaul of the election-law framework.

The “generally revise” phrasing typically signals a comprehensive reassessment of election administration, rules, and procedures.

If the text becomes available, a section-by-section summary would be added to outline mandated changes, timelines, and any new or repealed statutes.
