LBD02172-30-4S. 612--D 2 1 ing companies. No board of elections employee shall maintain a direct 2 financial interest in or be employed by a vendor or company that sells 3 to the board voting machines, electronic poll books, printers or other 4 technical or electronic equipment. A violation of any of the provisions 5 of this subdivision shall be cause for discipline by the board of 6 elections, including removal of the board of elections employee. 7 2. No board of elections employee shall remain on the board of 8 elections payroll while also a candidate for an office who has an 9 election overseen by the board at which they are employed.

The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to unpaid 22 party positions. 23 3. It shall not be considered a conflict of interest for a board of 24 elections employee who is a member of a county committee as defined in 25 section 2-104 of this chapter, a district leader as outlined in section 26 2-110 of this chapter, a member of the state committee as described in 27 section 2-102 of this chapter, a delegate or an alternate delegate to 28 judicial district nominating conventions as described in section 6-124 29 of this chapter, or a delegate or an alternate delegate to national 30 party conventions as described in section 2-122 of this chapter who, as 31 part of their duties in said party position, endorses or supports a 32 candidate for a party position or public office. 33 § 2. This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become a 34 law.
