Frensdorf, Alward, and Ray Brownell, introduces permanent voter registration, re registers after two consecutive nonvoting years, and requires transfer records with clerks. It places presidential candidate names on ballots, sets petition and county representation thresholds for candidates, caps spending, and mandates durable seals on ballot boxes to deter tampering.
