HB 2114 -- Elections Sponsor: Zimmerman Currently, the election authority in St. Charles County provides 55 ballots for each 50 and fraction of 50 voters who are registered in a voting district. This bill requires the election authority to provide one and one-third times the number of voters who cast ballots to either a voting district or a polling place at an election held two years prior. For general elections, the election authority will base the ballot requirement on the number of votes cast four years prior. The Secretary of State is required to establish procedures by which election authorities are to offer voters paper ballots, which may not consist of records produced by an electronic recording device. Ballots will be counted as regular ballots unless the individual casting the paper ballot would have been required to use a provisional ballot. Election authorities must post notices that paper ballots are available, and election costs will be paid as specified in Section 115.077, RSMo.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
