Summary

Elections administration; pre-election and post-election activities. Makes technical amendments to certain pre-election and post-election activities, including voter registration, voting system requirements in polling places, and recounts, that reflect the administrative reorganization of the Department of Elections (the Department) that took effect July 1, 2014. The bill also requires confirmation documents, instead of voter registration cards, to notify voters of changes in registration records and polling places and reassigns the duty of posting recount changes to the Department. The Department is also added to the list of entities that may advise a court during a recount. The bill also requires that a precinct having more than 4,000 registered voters be provided with no less than two ballot scanner machines at a presidential election, but provides an exception for localities that determine that a second scanner is not necessary at a particular precinct on the basis of voter turnout and the average voter wait time in previous presidential elections.
