Bill > SB1280

This bill requires county boards of supervisors or election officials to transmit cast vote records (electronic records of voter selections that cannot be linked to specific voters) to the Arizona Secretary of State within 48 hours after the county canvass is sent. For precincts or ballot styles with fewer than 25 registered voters, only the number of voters and cast vote records will be included. The bill mandates that these records must be transmitted in a sortable format and cannot be randomized or altered from their original form. The cast vote records are explicitly defined as public records, ensuring transparency in the election process. The legislation aims to provide a clear, unmodified electronic trail of voting results that can be reviewed by the public and election officials while protecting voter anonymity by ensuring individual ballots cannot be traced back to specific voters.
