Elections: voting equipment; standards for electronic voting systems; modify, and modify maintenance of electronic voting system source codes. Amends secs. 795, 795a & 797c of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.795 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan election laws to establish stricter standards for electronic voting machines and their maintenance. It requires all new voting systems to be manufactured in the United States and mandates that machines include specific features like paper ballots, audit trails, and accessibility tools for voters with disabilities. Additionally, the legislation introduces a certification process where vendors must pay fees and submit detailed performance data and maintenance contracts to the Secretary of State for approval. Local election officials are also instructed to ensure every polling place has at least one accessible voting device for use by individuals with disabilities.
