The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 511, aims to enhance the security of ballots used in optical scan voting tabulator systems by mandating the inclusion of a visible watermark security feature. This amendment to chapter 147 of the general statutes is intended to bolster the integrity of the voting process and ensure that ballots are easily identifiable and protected against potential tampering or fraud.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the requirement for a visible watermark on the ballots. This legislative change reflects a proactive approach to improving election security and maintaining public confidence in the electoral process.
