Description
Elections; acquisition of voting equipment by localities; securing voting equipment after the election. Deletes the provision enacted in 2007 that prohibits the acquisition of direct recording electronic (DRE) machines by any locality on and after July 1, 2007. The bill also modifies provisions for securing voting equipment after an election by providing that certain devices do not need to be locked and sealed for 15 days after the election if they are secured by the removal of a memory card, cartridge or other data storage medium and the card, cartridge or other medium is sealed and delivered to the circuit court clerk.
