Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2018.

Summary
Existing law, the Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2002, authorizes the Voting Modernization Finance Committee to issue and sell bonds in the amount of $200,000,000, as specified. Existing law authorizes a county to apply to the Voting Modernization Board for money from the proceeds of the sale of bonds (1) to pay for or purchase new voting systems that are certified or conditionally approved by the Secretary of State, (2) to research and develop new voting systems, or (3) to manufacture the minimum number of voting system units reasonably necessary to test and seek certification or conditional approval of the voting system, or test and demonstrate the capabilities of a voting system in a pilot program. This bill would enact the Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2018 which, if approved, would authorize the issuance and sale of bonds in the amount of $450,000,000, as specified, for similar purposes. This bill would authorize the Voting Modernization Finance Committee and the Voting Modernization Board to administer the Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2018. This bill would provide for submission of the act to the voters at the June 5, 2018, statewide direct primary election.
