Colorado SB119 would allow local elections to use electronic ballot return systems.

Colorado SB119 amends the Colorado Local Government Election Code to authorize the use of electronic ballot return systems in local elections. This system allows voters to return their marked ballots electronically to the designated election official. The bill specifies requirements for these electronic transmission systems, including secure identification and authentication, encrypted information transmission, and voter privacy protections. The Secretary of State is tasked with publishing guidance and may adopt rules to further specify the qualifications for these systems.
