Elections: official canvass: manual tally.

Abstract

Existing law requires, during the official canvass of an election in which a voting system is used, the elections official conducting the election to conduct a public manual tally of the ballots tabulated by those devices, including vote by mail voters' ballots, cast in 1% of the precincts chosen at random by the elections official. This bill would, during the official canvass of an election in which a voting system is used, authorize the elections official conducting the election to conduct a public manual tally by alternative means than those described above. Specifically, this bill would permit the elections official conducting the election to conduct a manual tally of the ballots cast in 1% of the precincts chosen at random by the elections official and a separate manual tally of not less than 1% of the vote by mail ballots cast in the election.
