Bill > S06169

This bill, known as the "Voting Integrity and Verification Act of New York (VIVA NY)," amends the Election Law to provide that each voter is entitled to the use of an individual, voter-verifiable paper ballot of the voter's vote and the opportunity to mark it, either by hand or using a non-tabulating ballot marking device. The bill defines a "non-tabulating ballot marking device" as a voting machine that cannot count or transmit votes and does not retain any official record of the voters' selections, but can mark or print voters' selections on an individual, voter-verifiable paper ballot. It also defines a "human readable paper ballot" as a paper ballot where all the candidates, ballot proposals, and selections are readable without assistance, other than eyeglasses or other standard personal vision-enhancing devices.
