提案理由 (AIによる要約)

投票立会人の選任を候補者の届出制から市町村選挙管理委員会による選任制に変更し、同一政党からの立会人を1投票区3人以内に制限。開票立会人の規定も同様に改正。当選手続きについては、当選告知・公示を選挙長から都道府県選挙管理委員会に変更。当選承諾の届出制度を改め、10日以内に辞退届がない場合は承諾とみなすこととした。立候補については、届出締切を選挙7日前から10日前に延長。兼職禁止の公務員は退職後でなければ立候補できないよう規定。選挙後の挨拶行為に関する規制を法定化し、当選御礼の張り札や連呼行為を禁止。また供託金を5千円から3万円に引き上げ、没収率を10分の1から5分の1に強化した。これらの改正は、選挙の公正確保と事務手続きの合理化、民主化を目的としている。
