SB 5554: Identifying marks on ballots

Preventing rejection of ballots that have voter identifying marks.

Summary

No ballot may contain an encrypted or unencrypted bar code or other unique identifying mark other than a randomly assigned, unique mark not associated with an individual voter, a voter's address, or a voter's registration number. The purpose of the allowed mark may only be for auditing, vote-reconciliation, or to determine if the ballot has been counted.
