Election judges required to transfer the record of results from a precinct to a central reporting location using a physical means of communication, and postelection review procedures required to separately review absentee and early voted ballots from ballots cast in a precinct on election day.

This bill requires election judges in Minnesota to transfer printed election result records to central locations using physical methods like disk or tape, rather than relying solely on electronic transmission. It also mandates that postelection reviews separately count absentee and early voted ballots from ballots cast on election day within the same precinct. These changes apply to county canvassing boards and election judges who conduct manual reviews of voting systems. The bill establishes separate performance standards for electronic voting systems used for different types of ballots, ensuring each system is evaluated based on its own tabulated votes.
