1. Election observers must be allowed uniform and nondiscriminatory access to all stages of the election process, including the certification of election technologies, early voting, absentee voting, voter appeals, vote tabulation, and recounts. Any individual, except a candidate whose name is on a ballot in a voting place where the ballot is used, may be an election observer under this section if the individual informs the election inspector of the individual's intent to serve as an election observer. Each polling place must be arranged in a manner that permits each election observer to be positioned in a location where the election observer can plainly view and hear the occurrences of the polling place, without infringing on voter privacy. 2. An election observer must wear a badge with the name of the individual and the name of any organization the individual is representing. An election observer may not wear any campaign material advocating voting for or against a candidate or for or against any position on a question on the ballot. An election observer may not interfere with any voter in the preparation or casting of the voter's ballot or hinder or prevent the performance of the duties of any election official.
