LC 2713 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise voting system auditing in election laws

This bill requires election administrators in Montana to test voting systems when they are acquired, upgraded, or leave their custody, ensuring the systems function correctly before elections. It also mandates that election administrators print, examine, and keep audit logs and records of votes cast for at least 22 months to help verify election results. Additionally, the bill clarifies how ballots and election records should be stored and when they can be disposed of, while outlining procedures for counting votes and handling questionable ballots during both manual and machine-based vote counts.
