SB 375 - This act requires that all electronic voting systems produce results from paper ballots marked by hand, or in the case of disabled voters who need assistance, from paper ballots marked by a paper ballot marking device designed to assist such voters. The use of remaining direct-record electronic voting machines shall be phased out upon mechanical failure. Elections shall not be certified until a hand-counted audit is performed. Currently, ballots and various materials relating to an election are required to be kept for 12 months and are only open to a legislative body or a grand jury. This act changes that time period to 22 months and provides that all records shall be available at the election authority for review by any group that makes such a written request. This act is similar to HB 1490 (2010), SB 418 (2011), SB 542 (2012). CHRIS HOGERTY
