An act relating to electronic ballot return in local elections

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow towns, cities, and villages in Vermont to vote on whether to use electronic ballot return for local elections. If adopted, voters could return their marked ballots electronically using a secure system, and the clerk would transcribe these into anonymous paper ballots for counting and storage. The Secretary of State would provide guidance on security and privacy standards for these systems.
