Description
Electronic reforms; State Board of Elections. Makes various amendments to Title 24.2 (Elections) that authorize the State Board of Elections to utilize various electronic systems. The bill specifies that the State Board shall (i) accept absentee voter applications and receive changes of a registered voter's name or address electronically; (ii) conduct a pilot program permitting a participating candidate for office, other than a party nominee, to provide electronically some or all of the signatures of qualified voters required to get his name on the ballot; and (iii) provide electronic pollbooks for each precinct or locality that uses them at least five days, rather than 10 days, before an election. The bill also provides that the State Board shall provide only electronic pollbooks, and not written pollbooks, for any election held on or after July 1, 2010, or any subsequent year and makes corresponding amendments that become effective on July 1, 2010. The bill also provides that the State Board of Elections may furnish absentee voter applicant lists to candidates or political party chairmen for use only for campaign and political purposes. Such lists shall not contain any voter's social security number, or part thereof, day and month of birth, or the residence address of a voter who has provided a post office box in lieu of a residence street address.
