Studies the use of blockchain technology in elections
This bill requires the state board of elections to study whether blockchain technology can securely protect voter records and election results. The board must consult with IT services and experts in blockchain, cybersecurity, voter fraud, and election integrity to evaluate the technology's potential. They must submit a report to the governor and legislature within one year, considering how other states use similar systems. The bill does not implement blockchain in elections but mandates a formal review of its feasibility for enhancing election security.
