2. The purpose of this chapter is to identify actions which 1 threaten the integrity of the election process and to impose 2 significant sanctions upon persons who intentionally commit 3 those acts. It is the intent of the general assembly that 4 offenses with the greatest potential to affect the election 5 process be vigorously prosecuted and strong punishment meted 6 out through the imposition of felony sanctions which, as a 7 consequence, remove the voting rights of the offenders until 8 such rights are restored by the governor, by the president of 9 the United States, or by operation of law . Other offenses are 10 still considered serious, but based on the factual context in 11 which they arise, they may not rise to the level of offenses 12 to which felony penalties attach. The general assembly 13 also recognizes that instances may arise in which technical 14 infractions of chapters 39 through 53 may occur which do not 15 merit any level of criminal sanction. In such instances, 16 administrative notice from the state or county commissioner 17 of elections is sufficient.
