Overview: Bill Number: LC 2430, Title: Propose a constitutional amendment on elections, Status: (LC) Draft Died in Process, Introduced: December 08, 2024
Purpose and Intent: This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish new requirements and procedures for state and federal elections. The main goals are to enhance election security, increase voter confidence, and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
Key Provisions:
- Require voter identification for all in-person voting
- Mandate post-election audits and ballot verification procedures
- Restrict the use of mail-in and absentee ballots
- Establish uniform statewide standards for voter registration and ballot counting
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- All registered voters would be required to present valid ID to cast a ballot
- State and local election officials would need to implement new auditing and verification processes
- Voters who rely on mail-in or absentee ballots may face increased barriers to participation
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
This bill was introduced as a draft in the legislative process but did not advance further. Constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority vote in both legislative chambers and subsequent ratification by the states, so this proposal did not have enough support to move forward.
