The proposed bill would update current statutes by requiring the county recorder to provide public access to voter registration rolls through an internet portal at no cost (
E). It would also allow for the distribution of voter registration information online, enhancing transparency and accessibility. Additionally, the bill mandates that the county officer in charge of elections may conduct an expanded postelection hand count of up to one hundred percent of ballots cast, if deemed necessary by the county board of supervisors (
At the discretion of the county board of supervisors...).
Moreover, the bill modifies existing language to improve clarity and efficiency in reporting voter registration data, including new deadlines and formats for submitting totals to the secretary of state (
B I). It also updates terminology by replacing outdated terms, such as changing "G" to "H" in various sections (
G H). These changes aim to enhance the electoral process while ensuring the integrity of voter registration.
