HB1207

Amends the period for retaining election materials following federal, state, and local elections.

This bill changes the rules for how long election materials must be kept after an election. It sets a uniform period of twenty-two months for retaining ballots and other materials from federal, state, and local elections. Previously, materials from federal elections could be destroyed after twenty-two months, while those from state and local elections had different retention periods. The bill also specifies that materials from school district and municipal elections can be destroyed twenty-two months after the election, aligning with the federal period.
