This bill makes it illegal to offer or accept money or valuable items to influence how someone votes or whether they register to vote, aiming to prevent bribery and protect fair elections. Violators would face a serious misdemeanor charge. The bill allows ordinary voter assistance, like giving rides to the polls, providing small non-cash items (like snacks or water), or letting employees take time off to vote or register. These rules apply to all elections, including party primaries and conventions, to help ensure election integrity without restricting common voter support.
