IN HB1175

Requires the inspector and judge of opposite political parties to record and announce the total number of votes cast on electronic voting systems and the total number of voters who received ballots in each precinct, then determine if these numbers differ.

Mandates that the inspector and judge execute an affidavit documenting the vote count and voter count information and return it with election certificates.

Requires the county election board to compile precinct-level information showing the difference between votes cast and ballots distributed, along with reasons for discrepancies, and publish this document by noon on the second Friday following the election for public inspection.

Triggers a mandatory audit of any precinct where the number of votes cast and ballots distributed differ by five or more votes, with the county election board rechecking computations before ordering the audit.

Requires the county election board to certify audit results within thirteen days after the election using commission-approved procedures independent of the voting system provider, with public notice given at least 48 hours before the audit.

Effective July 1, 2016.
