Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

Currently, in every mail ballot election coordinated with or conducted by a county clerk and recorder, a single election judge personally conducts the review of each mail ballot for purposes of signature verification, unless the county clerk and recorder allows the election judge to use a signature verification device. The bill authorizes the county clerk and recorder to allow a team of bipartisan election judges, rather than a single election judge, to review mail ballots for purposes of signature verification. The bill authorizes the secretary of state to adopt rules concerning the procedure for using a team of bipartisan election judges for such signature verification.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
