Why does the Commission investigate some election law violations and fail to investigate others in the same race or community?
The Commission can only investigate alleged violations only when a person files a legally sufficient complaint with the Commission or the Division of Elections refers a matter to the Commission. The Commission has no authority to investigate without a sworn legally sufficient complaint or referral from the Division regardless of how serious the offense.
