Mandating Paper Ballots in Statewide Elections
Date of Vote: February 27, 2024
Chamber of Origin: HouseThis bill amends Georgia's election laws to require that ballots used in optical scan voting systems and ballot marking devices must be printed on security paper with a visible watermark. It also requires the Secretary of State to establish and maintain a state-wide system for posting digital images of scanned paper ballots, with a minimum resolution of 200 dots per inch. The bill expands the number of contests subject to risk-limiting audits and sets specific risk limit percentages over time. It also establishes a pilot program to audit paper ballots using optical character recognition technology.1
