Bill > HB907

This bill amends Virginia's election code to require that voting systems approved by the State Board of Elections produce a printed receipt for each voter who casts a ballot. The receipt must include specific details: the date and time the ballot was cast, a unique voter number indicating the order of ballot casting, and a comprehensive list of all selections made on the ballot as recorded by the voting system. The bill is part of a broader regulatory framework that establishes detailed requirements for electronic voting systems, including ensuring voter privacy, preventing multiple votes for the same candidate, providing clear voting instructions, and maintaining the security and functionality of voting equipment. The proposed change adds a new provision (Section 15) to the existing law, which already outlines extensive criteria for voting system approval, such as accuracy of vote counting, accessibility for voters with disabilities, and protection against potential fraud. By mandating these printed receipts, the bill aims to enhance voter transparency and provide a tangible record of each individual's voting choices.
