Bill overview
This bill changes the timeframe for destroying election materials like ballots and pollbooks. Currently, local elections can have ballots destroyed after 60 days, while federal elections require a 22-month wait. School district elections also follow a 22-month rule. The bill ensures that election materials are handled securely and maintained until the required timeframe has passed, regardless of pending recounts or contests.
