The head of the Assembly elections committee, Rep. Scott Krug, is calling for election reforms ahead of the 2026 elections.
Krug acknowledged that local election officials performed well during the 2024 elections but believes improvements are necessary.
He is advocating for a new law allowing early counting absentee ballots before Election Day or before the polls close.
This measure would bolster public confidence in the electoral system.
While the Assembly passed a similar proposal in the past, it was blocked in the Senate due to concerns over potential misuse for election fraud.
