Bill Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of State to examine and recertify all voting machines both annually and when there are modifications to the software on the machines. As part of the examination and recertification, the Secretary of State will develop a test and a check list to confirm that each voting machine is operating properly and is able to accurately record and tabulate all of the votes cast for each election.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Secretary of State must annually examine and recertify all voting machines used in the state, and also perform this recertification whenever the software on those machines is modified. As part of this process, the Secretary of State will create a specific test and a checklist to ensure that each voting machine is functioning correctly and can accurately record and count all votes cast in any election. This change is being made to the existing law concerning the approval and use of voting machines, which previously allowed for minor improvements without requiring re-examination.
