2020 SESSION
HB 1053 Voting systems; voter-verifiable paper record.
Introduced by: Mark H. Levine | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Voting systems; voter-verifiable paper record. Requires any electronic voting system approved by the State Board of Elections to retain each printed ballot cast. Printed ballots are currently defined to include machine-readable ballots, and the bill amends the definition of a machine-readable ballot to mean a tangible ballot that is marked by a voter or by a system or device operated by voter, is available for verification by the voter at the time the ballot is cast, and is then fed into and scanned by a separate counting machine. The bill amends the requirements for sealing and delivering ballots after an election to include printed ballots; current law only addresses paper ballots.
