CT SB00251

Requires moderators to transmit a preliminary list of votes for municipal offices to the Secretary of State by midnight on election day, rather than reporting results after the fact.

Mandates moderators transmit a duplicate list of municipal election results by electronic means within 48 hours after polls close, with a sealed copy delivered within three days.

Duplicate lists must indicate the total number of names on the official check list and total number of names checked as having voted.

Imposes a $50 late filing fee on moderators who fail to transmit or deliver duplicate lists by the required deadlines.

Applies the same preliminary and duplicate list reporting requirements to municipal elections as previously required only for state elections, and requires moderators to deliver one duplicate list to the town clerk.
