SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Election recount procedures and ballots cast on electronic voting devices. Provides that, where voting systems that count ballots by means of insertion in electronic counting devices are used, recounts shall examine only those ballots on which voters have apparently voted for fewer than or more than the number of candidates for which they are legally entitled to vote. The State Board of Elections is to provide standards by September 1, 2001, applicable for all recounts, for determining whether a ballot has or has not been voted for a candidate and for promoting a timely and accurate resolution of recount questions. The current statutory provision that allows parties to a recount to examine all ballots and materials is modified and replaced by a more limited examination.
