A bill for an act relating to the conduct of elections.
SF 2287 updates Iowa's election laws with several key changes. It requires law enforcement to immediately notify the state commissioner when investigating election misconduct (Section 2), allows voter registration cancellation after 90 days if incomplete and the voter can't be contacted (Section 3), and sets specific recount thresholds (e.g., less than 0.15% for statewide measures) with a 7-day deadline (Sections 4-5). The bill also mandates tamper-evident seals on all election equipment (Section 7) and updates rules for voting system testing and certification (Section 6). These changes directly affect election officials, voters, and election equipment providers. The bill passed committee but was later withdrawn after being attached to another measure.
