- Title
- Governor, cabinet positions, department heads, assistant cabinet and department head positions, exempt positions, salary increase limited to three percent per year, Sec. 36-6-6 am'd.
- Description
Under existing law, write-in votes are permitted only in non-municipal general elections, and all write-in votes are counted if the voter properly writes the name on the ballot and registers the vote by a mark in the space designated for that particular office.
This bill would amend the current law to provide that write-in votes for a specific office would be counted at the same time as provisional ballots are counted if the number of write-in votes for that office is greater than or equal to the difference in votes between the two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes for that office.
