The bill would amend Election Code to require the Secretary of State to prescribe specific requirements and deadlines for testing direct recording electronic voting machine equipment and to prescribe procedures requiring specific testing methods for voting systems that use direct recording electronic voting machines.
The bill would require the Secretary of State to conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility and advisability of requiring a voter verified paper audit trail for a direct recording electronic voting system and to file a written report with the findings with the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Lieutenant Governor by December 1, 2006.
