| ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2125 Introduced by Assembly Member Quirk February 08, 2018 An act to amend and repeal Section 15360, and to add Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 15365) to Chapter 4 of Division 15, 15 of the Elections Code, relating to elections. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2125, as amended, Quirk. Election results: risk-limiting audits. Existing law requires an elections official, during the official canvass of an election in which a voting system is used, to conduct a public manual tally of the ballots cast in 1% of the precincts chosen at random by the elections official, as specified. This bill would require risk-limiting audits in lieu of the 1% manual tally for certain counties beginning with the March 8, 2022, statewide primary election, and would authorize the use of risk-limiting audits in lieu of the 1% manual tally beginning with the March 3, 2020 statewide primary election. The bill would require the Secretary of State to adopt regulations to implement and administer risk-limiting audits. By imposing new requirements on local elections officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes |
