HB 7321 Summary

• Secretary of the State must appoint a cybersecurity official to perform technical reviews and testing of voting systems and develop standards to protect voting process integrity.

• Voting tabulator companies must notify the Secretary of State of any alterations to approved equipment and submit material changes for inspection at the company's expense before use.

• Voter registration data disclosures limited to year of birth only (unless for governmental purposes like jury administration); motor vehicle license numbers, identity card numbers, and Social Security numbers must be kept confidential.

• Voters may request confidentiality of their name and address from official registry lists for safety reasons; election officials may still view this information at polling places.

• Registrars of voters must submit one of two programmed memory cards from each voting tabulator for security analysis by an entity the Secretary contracts with; punch-card voting tabulators are banned.
