SB 17-037

Senate Bill 17-037 requires counties with at least 25,000 registered voters to measure and report how long it takes for people to vote at their voter service and polling centers during general elections. The state's Secretary of State will create rules to ensure that all counties collect and share this information in a consistent way. This bill is now signed into law, meaning counties with large numbers of voters must start tracking wait times to help improve the voting process for everyone.

Official Summary

For any county with at least 25,000 active electors, the bill requires the county clerk and recorder to measure and report the amount of time it takes to vote at each voter service and polling center in a general election. The bill also directs the secretary of state to promulgate rules that provide for uniform data-gathering and reporting. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
