AI Summary
This bill requires county clerks in Oregon to provide a live, publicly accessible internet video feed of ballot counting rooms and official ballot drop sites during elections. The video feeds must be available at all times until all ballot tallying is complete, and the recordings must be preserved online for at least two years after the election. The Secretary of State will establish rules for video camera installation and operation, with two key restrictions: the cameras cannot compromise the election security plan or reveal how any individual voter cast their ballot. The bill aims to increase transparency in the election process by allowing the public to observe ballot handling and counting in real-time, while still protecting voter privacy and maintaining election security protocols.
