Elections; state-wide uniform system of voting equipment; revise provisions

Summary

The bill moves responsibility for selecting and certifying voting machines from the Secretary of State to the State Election Board and requires every county to use the same hand‑marked, hand‑counted paper ballot system. It allows electronic ballot markers only for voters who cannot use hand‑marked ballots and mandates that all equipment be American‑made, not remotely accessible, and certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. The measure also sets new standards for absentee‑ballot scanning and provides for pilot programs and municipal use.
