This bill eliminates the State Board of Elections and transfers its election administration duties to the Secretary of State's office. The changes affect dozens of election-related laws covering voter registration, ballot procedures, campaign finance, and other electoral processes, all of which are being reorganized under the Secretary of State's direct control rather than an independent board.
