Description
Contested election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, or the General Assembly. Provides for a surety bond of $10 per precinct in contested elections for statewide office and $100 per precinct in contested elections for the General Assembly to be forfeited by a losing contestant to the extent of the contestee's actual costs. The bill also makes the failure to meet the procedural deadlines for notice and subsequent filings dispositive of the contest and equivalent to a finding against the party failing to meet the deadlines.
