Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a municipal clerk may clear or erase detachable recording
units and compartments for automatic tabulating equipment used in an electronic
voting system in a primary or election 14 days after the primary or 21 days after the
election. Before clearing or erasing the units or compartments, the municipal clerk
is required to transfer the data contained in the units or compartments to a disk or
other recording medium, which must be retained for at least 22 months after the
primary or election to which the data relate. Under this bill, all other data stored on
an electronic voting system or automatic tabulating equipment, including log file
data, downloads, and uploads, must be retained for at least 22 months after the
primary or election to which the data relate.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
