Initially Referred to House Elections Committee, chaired by a Republican
Last Referred to Senate State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 2316 amends the Election Code to standardize the reporting of election results by requiring that all election reports include the percentage of total votes received by each candidate. This requirement applies to general elections, primaries, runoff primaries, and unofficial tabulations of precinct results. The bill ensures that both periodic and final election reports present vote percentages alongside raw vote totals, increasing transparency in election result reporting.
