Bill Summary

To allow the Secretary of the State to transfer to municipal officials voting tabulators and accessories purchased by the Secretary.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Connecticut state law regarding the procurement and transfer of voting tabulators (vote-counting machines) by allowing the Secretary of the State to directly purchase voting tabulators and related accessories from manufacturers and then transfer ownership of these devices to municipal officials. Under the current law, municipalities are responsible for authorizing payment and acquiring voting tabulators, but this bill creates a new pathway where the Secretary of the State can centralize the purchase and then distribute the equipment to local election officials. This change could potentially streamline the process of acquiring voting equipment, potentially reducing individual municipal procurement costs and ensuring more uniform voting technology across different municipalities. The bill specifically amends Section 9-239 of the general statutes and will take effect immediately upon passage, giving the Secretary of the State new flexibility in managing voting equipment procurement and distribution.
