Summary

The bill repeals Wisconsin statutes that let election inspectors discard extra ballots by chance and replaces them with procedures that record any excess, keep the ballots, and factor the discrepancy into risk‑limiting audits. It also adds an oath for absentee‑voting deputies and updates related statutory numbering. The changes affect election officials, absentee‑ballot canvassers, and the state elections commission.
