Bill > SB366

This bill requires an audit of ballots cast in the 2022 state primary and general elections. The Secretary of State is authorized to conduct the audit, which involves procuring equipment capable of scanning and recording ballot information, including capturing images of the ballots. The bill provides a process for selecting districts to be audited and requires the audit to be open to the public. The results of the audit must be made public and reported to various legislative committees. The bill also allows the Secretary of State to forego the general election audit if problems identified during the primary election audit cannot be resolved. The estimated cost of this bill is $50,000 to $100,000 in fiscal year 2023 to purchase and program a new high-speed scanner.
