AN ACT IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE RISK-LIMITING AUDITS WORKING GROUP.
FAV. RPT., TAB. FOR CAL., SEN.
Summary
The bill requires registrars of voters to run a publicly observed risk‑limiting audit after every state election for certain offices, including presidential electors, all state offices, a randomly chosen congressional seat and at least 5% of state legislative seats. It spells out how audits are selected, reported, and acted on—triggering manual recounts, possible decertification of voting machines, and judicial review when results don’t match the official count. The measure also updates municipal reporting rules, allows limited use of electronic audit equipment, and creates a pilot program for municipal audits in 2027.
