This bill is simple. It outlawed anyone changing their vote in an election for council, president, justice, etc. This is so that nobody is biased by the exit poll of the day and changes their vote.

Also it’s complicated when you are counting the votes. Does a changed vote count? Does it not count? Well, as of this bill’s passing, it would be illegal to change your vote in elections unless your ballot was filled out incorrectly (e.g. not putting voter code).

If an election changes (e.g. a candidate drops out of the race), a voter can change their vote ONLY if one or more of their previous choices were affected by it (let’s say username votes candidate 1, 2, and 3, but then candidate 2 drops out of the race, username can change their vote to candidate 4) and the only choice or choices they can change is the one affected by the change in the election.

Previous voting changes shall be forgiven and the changed votes shall be counted.

This bill will go into effect immediately apon passage

How does one physically change their vote in the first place?

idk, but Camel did it somehow and it’s not helping the election crisis

There should be exceptions for if a form changes (IE if a candidate is removed from the race)

small thing, "Previous uses of this act" might not be the correct wording, maybe Previous abuses?

“previous voting changes” I think that’s good
