Bill overview
This bill would shorten the timelines for conducting the official canvass of election ballots and for the Secretary of State to certify and release election results. Specifically, it reduces the time for counting ballots and preparing a results statement to 10 days, and the time for sending results to the Secretary of State to 11 days. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to prepare and release a final statement of the vote within 2 days of receiving results from county elections officials. This change aims to expedite the election results process.
