SB 2307 Summary

• Establishes polling place hours between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., with governing bodies designating specific times by resolution at least 30 days before elections, except precincts with 75 or fewer votes cast may open at noon.

• Allows the Secretary of State to generate voter lists or reports from the central voter file to share with other states or state consortiums for maintaining election integrity.

• Modifies central voter file requirements to include tribal government identification and clarifies status designations show voter eligibility rather than ability to vote.

• Updates election recount procedures to require county auditors to employ up to 14 qualified electors (changed from four) to assist with recounts of federal, state, district, and county offices.

• Accelerates recount certification timelines by requiring county auditors to certify results "immediately" rather than "no later than three days" after recounts and to submit results electronically rather than by certified mail.
