Current Bill Summary

SB 16 - This act requires any county political party committee to use weighted voting in all matters before the committee by giving each committeeman and committeewoman a number of votes equal to the proportion of vote cast in the jurisdiction from which the committeeman or committeewoman was elected for the person who won the political party's nomination at the most recent gubernatorial primary election or state auditor primary election, as the case may be, and multiplying that number by two. Weighted voting shall not be used for the purpose of nominating candidates for elections to fill vacancies in county offices.
