Require voting machines to be recertified annually and after software modifications.
S 2046 requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to recertify all voting machines annually and after any software modification. As part of this process, the Secretary must develop a test and checklist to verify each machine accurately records and tabulates votes before every election. This applies to all voting machines used in New Jersey elections, ensuring ongoing accuracy and reliability through regular, mandatory checks. The bill adds recurring verification steps to the existing approval framework without altering initial machine certification.
