Bill Summary

To require that certain supporting documentation be attached to the vote totals sent by the moderator to the Secretary of the State and that such documentation be published on the Secretary's Internet web site.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing election reporting procedures by requiring moderators to attach specific documentation to vote results when submitting them to the Secretary of the State. Specifically, when a moderator delivers physical vote results within three days after an election, they must now include all tabulator tapes (printed records from vote-counting machines) and vote tally sheets along with those results. Furthermore, the Secretary of the State's office will be mandated to publish digital scans of these tabulator tapes and vote tally sheets on their official website, thereby increasing transparency in the election reporting process. This proposed change aims to make more detailed election documentation readily accessible to the public, potentially allowing for easier verification of election results and providing a more comprehensive view of voting data beyond just the final vote totals.
