HB 1000 -- Voting Machine Standards

Sponsor:  Guest

This bill specifies that for each voting machine that operates
using software, a hand-marked paper ballot must be used to verify
the results produced by the software.  This will not apply in the
case of a disabled voter who needs mechanical assistance to
record a vote when a machine-marked paper ballot that is
verifiable by the voter will serve as the software-independent
record.

Election authorities may use voting machines other than paper
ballot marking devices that comply with the Help America Vote Act
of 2002 solely for disabled voters.  These machines may be
replaced with paper ballot marking devices that also comply with
the act.
