Bill > AB242A

This bill revises provisions relating to elections in Nevada, with key changes focusing on mechanical voting systems and accommodations for elderly and disabled voters. Specifically, the bill mandates that all votes must be counted using a mechanical voting system, which is defined as a device that electronically compiles vote totals or counts paper ballots using an electronic tabulator. For polling places, the bill requires at least two voting booths (instead of one) specifically designed for voters with disabilities or who are elderly, with additional booths to be added if necessary. The bill also requires county and city clerks, as well as election board officers, to complete training on using these specialized voting booths and devices to ensure they can effectively assist elderly and disabled voters. Additionally, the bill makes numerous conforming changes to various city charters to align with the new requirements, changing language from "may" to "shall" regarding the use of mechanical voting systems for vote counting. These modifications aim to improve accessibility and consistency in Nevada's election processes, ensuring that voters with different abilities can participate more easily in the voting process.
