§ 206.81 — Electronic Voting Systems; Experimental Use

Plain-Language Summary

The Secretary of State may allow a new electronic voting system to be used on a trial basis at an election before it is approved for general use. The Secretary of State or a designee must observe the trial, and the results are considered when deciding whether to certify the system.

Practical Notes
This allows new voting technology to be tested in real elections before full approval. The Secretary of State controls how widely the trial is used. Results from experimental use are part of the official certification process.
