" PROPOSED RULES

Doc. No. 780579
004.30.05.316
The secretary of state is proposing Rule 004.30.05.316 due to
a conflict between House Bill 893, 65th Legislature, which
eliminates the requirement that voters sign the ballot stub,
and House Bill 1845, 65th Legislature, which failed to include
the new language in Houe Bill 893 when it was passed later
in the session. The secretary of state is enacting this rule to
alleviate any conflict which might arise in forthcoming
general and special elections throughout the state. This rule
was adopted as an emergency rule on September 16. 1977.
This proposed rule has no fiscal implications for the state or
for units of local government. (Source: Elections Division
staff.)
