Restates the right of the Division of Elections to use the current Accuvote Optical Scanning machines for reading paper ballots.

Provides that voters may, upon asking, use the new DRE electronic ballot machines, but that no more than one of these machines will be placed in most precincts; and that these machines must produce a paper ballot for a voter's review, and for recounts.

Definitions Section.

Federal Law has funded the state's new DRE machines for blind and otherwise disabled persons. This section provides that by 2006, or before if technologically feasible, these machines must provide a paper trail so voters can see their votes on paper, and so that there will be paper for recounts.

Immediate Effective Date.
