AI Summary
This bill, the Voting Modernization Bond Act of 2018, would authorize the issuance and sale of $450 million in state general obligation bonds to assist counties in paying for new voting systems, electronic poll books, ballot on-demand systems, vote-by-mail ballot drop boxes, remote accessible vote-by-mail systems, and other voting-related technologies. The bill would establish the Voting Modernization Fund of 2018 to administer the bond funds, with the Voting Modernization Board overseeing the distribution of funds. The bill would require that any voting systems purchased with bond funds produce a paper record of the votes cast, and would allow the Legislature to amend certain provisions of the bill with a two-thirds vote if the changes are consistent with the bill's purposes.
