HB1821 exempts certain information from right-to-know law restrictions for electronic ballot counting devices.

HB1821 amends RSA 91-A:5 to exempt ballot images and cast vote records from right-to-know law restrictions, except for the 48-hour release requirement. It mandates that ballot images and cast vote records be retained and accessible for post-election reporting. The bill also requires electronic ballot counting devices to be certified and capable of producing standardized ballot images and records. It imposes penalties for violations related to the handling and release of these records.
