Change provisions relating to vote counting devices under the Election Act

Summary

The bill mandates that before any vote‑counting device is used, the election commissioner, a deputy or opposite‑party voter, and the device’s installer must each conduct an independent test to verify accuracy. It also permits each political party to have a watcher observe these tests and requires the certification to be posted on the Secretary of State’s website. Additional rules set standards for sealing, transporting, and securing ballots and require counties to submit a detailed election‑day plan to the Secretary of State.
