Enhanced Election Audit Transparency: No More Secret Voting Systems.

This act aims to boost confidence in elections by requiring voting systems to be more open to scrutiny. It means that manufacturers of voting software and hardware must provide information necessary for audits, allowing for better verification of election results. This helps citizens have greater assurance that their votes are counted correctly.
Key points
Voting systems used in federal elections can no longer use proprietary software or hardware that prevents audits.
Manufacturers of voting systems must provide election officials with information needed to make systems auditable.
These changes are set to take effect from January 1, 2022, increasing transparency in election processes.
