Requires audits by hand recount of voter verifiable audit records
This bill requires election boards to manually hand-recount voter verifiable audit records from 3% of voting machines after most elections. Specifically, it mandates a hand recount within 15 days after general elections (13 days after primaries, 7 days after village elections), using a random selection process. Election boards must notify candidates and parties about the audit location and timing at least five days in advance, and allow them to observe the process. The law applies directly to election boards and their audit procedures, with no change to voting methods or voter eligibility.
