Election Code

This act governs the conduct and administration of elections and the financing of political campaigns. It establishes the bodies that administer elections — county election commissions and similar boards — setting their membership restrictions, oaths, meeting requirements, and duties, along with rules on voter eligibility, time off from work to vote, petition and filing requirements, public notice, and the requisites a political party must satisfy. It also creates a campaign finance disclosure regime, requiring candidates and political campaign committees to register, keep records, and file periodic sworn statements of contributions, loans, and expenditures, while restricting how campaign funds may be used and providing a complaint process and penalties for violations, together with financial disclosure obligations for certain high public officials.
