If enacted, this bill would amend current election statutes by requiring the county recorder or other election officials to maintain a detailed count of physical ballots across several specified categories, including early ballots, regular ballots, provisional ballots, federal-only ballots, and electronically generated ballots. This new requirement would be applicable regardless of the method used for ballot production or tabulation. Additionally, the bill mandates that this information be posted on the respective county's website and provided to the Secretary of State, who would also be responsible for posting the aggregated data on their own website.

The bill would also make technical changes to existing language in the statutes, specifically removing outdated provisions related to the appointment of committee members by the Secretary of State prior to the 2006 primary election. Overall, the updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the election process by ensuring that accurate ballot counts are readily accessible to the public.
