The purpose of the proposed rule revision is to reflect changes in law that now allow the Secretary of State in lieu of the Elections Canvassing Commission, to order recounts for federal, statewide, and multicounty races. Additionally the revisions codify practices that have evolved over time to improve the machine and manual recount process. The proposed draft will contain a substantial rewrite of the recount process in order to re-organize and simplify the language in the rule. The rule incorporates by reference DS-DE 72/105 which contains the sample ballot image reports for the various voting systems as are to be used in a manual recount of touchscreen ballots for determining whether a voter has undervoted. No statement of estimated regulatory cost is triggered and therefore none is prepared. If adopted, this rule revision will not require legislative ratification to become effective.
