Fiscal estimate received
Summary
The bill eliminates the current practice of randomly discarding excess absentee or non‑absentee ballots and instead requires detailed documentation of any discrepancy. It creates new statutes for risk‑limiting audits, sets standards for how audits are conducted, and outlines timelines for implementation. The measure would affect election inspectors, absentee canvassers, county clerks, and audit teams, but it did not pass.
