The act allows the persons elected secretary and treasurer of each county political party committee in Jackson County to vote on all matters before the committee, regardless if the person is a member of the committee, provided that if the person is not a member of the committee, then such person shall not vote for nomination of candidates for elections to fill vacancies in county offices.

The Jackson County Republican Party Committee is required to use population apportioned representation voting in all matters before the committee by giving each committeeman and committeewoman a number of votes equal to the proportion of vote cast in the jurisdiction from which the committeeman or committeewoman was elected for the person who was the nominee of the respective political party at the most recent gubernatorial general election or state auditor general election, as the case may be. Population apportioned representation voting shall not be used for the purpose of nominating candidates for elections to fill vacancies in county offices. This provision is similar to SB 16 (2023).

This act is effective January 1, 2025.
