HB 1080 CO Introduced
County Mail Ballot Signature Verification Requirements
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
Currently, in every mail ballot election coordinated with or conducted by a county clerk and recorder, a single election judge personally conducts the review of each mail ballot for purposes of signature verification, unless the county clerk and recorder allows the election judge to use a signature verification device. The bill requires the county clerk and recorder to use a team of bipartisan election judges, rather than a single election judge, to review mail ballots for purposes of signature verification. The bill requires the secretary of state to adopt rules concerning the procedure for using a team of bipartisan election judges for such signature verification.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
