Relates to availability of electronic ballot images
This bill (A 7450) requires election boards to copy electronic ballot images and cast vote records from voting machines within one week after an election and make them public records available upon request. It directly affects voters, election observers, and transparency advocates who can now access these records to verify election results. The key provision mandates that election boards preserve and release the electronic images of each ballot and the data showing how each was interpreted by the scanner. This change makes previously internal election data accessible to the public without court orders or committee investigations, as specified in the amended election law.
