SB 936

This bill authorizes the Elections Commission to award grants to

municipalities for the purchase of election supplies and equipment, including

electronic poll books. Under the bill, a municipality must apply for a grant no later

than 180 days before a general election and agree to have the commission conduct

at least one random inspection of the supplies and equipment that the municipality

purchases with the grant moneys. Finally, the bill requires the commission to

conduct an audit of the grant program no later than 90 days after each general

election and submit an audit report to the legislature.
