SB 112 Voting recount proceedings.
Introduced by: William Bolling | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Recount proceedings. Provides that issues of voter eligibility will not be considered in a recount and that rejected conditional and absentee ballots will not be reexamined. The bill provides for a single recount or redetermination of the vote in a recount proceeding and spells out recount steps related to differing types of ballots and voting devices. In the case of optical scan and punchcard tabulators, the printed return sheets shall be accepted unless they are not clear or the court orders a further count. If a further count is ordered, the tabulator shall be programmed to set aside write-in votes, overvotes, and undervotes. The ballots thus set aside and other ballots rejected by the tabulator (e.g. damaged ballots) will be counted by hand. This bill incorporates recommendations of the Joint Subcommittee Studying Virginia's Election Process and Voting Technologies (HJR 681/SJR 363 -- 2001). This bill is identical to HB 985.
