Introduced by: Mark D. Obenshain | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Election administration; presidential elections; officers of election and ballot scanner machines. Requires any precinct having more than 4,000 registered voters to have not less than five officers of election serving at a presidential election and requires the electoral board to appoint additional officers as may be needed to comply with this requirement. The bill also requires the governing body of a county or city that uses ballot scanner machines at elections to provide for any precinct having more than 4,000 registered voters not less than two such machines at a presidential election, but provides an exception for localities that determine a second scanner is not necessary at a particular precinct on the basis of voter turnout and the average wait time for voters in previous presidential elections. Current law requires not less than three officers of election at each precinct and at least one ballot scanner machine at each precinct that uses such machines.
