Montana SB494 revises election laws to require testing of election management systems and retention of voting system audit logs.
Montana SB494 revises election laws by mandating that election administrators conduct a test of the election management system to verify its functionality. This test must occur when a new voting system is acquired and after any event that could alter the system, such as upgrades or hardware changes. Additionally, the bill requires election administrators to print, examine, and retain voting system audit logs and records of votes cast. These records must be kept for at least 22 months.
