Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require that the boards of canvassers transmit electronically to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, the total ballots cast, counted, and rejected.
AI Summary
This bill requires county boards of canvassers, when a candidate is on the ballot in more than one county, to electronically transmit the total number of ballots cast, counted, and rejected to the Secretary of State's office using a form they will provide. This change is part of an update to existing election laws that govern how election results are canvassed, declared, and how recounts are handled, ensuring a more efficient and standardized electronic reporting process for election data across counties to the state level.
