This bill relates to the secrecy of ballots. The bill requires that before a voter voting at the polls on election day surrenders a ballot to be tabulated, one person from each political party who has been appointed to serve on a challenging committee swears under penalty of perjury that that person has personal knowledge that the ballot was cast in secret only by the voter authorized to cast the ballot. The bill also requires that, after the special precinct election board has reviewed and not rejected an absentee or provisional ballot, before the ballot is separated from the affidavit envelope, one person from each political party serving as a challenger swears under penalty of perjury that that person has personal knowledge that the ballot was cast in secret only by the voter who completed the affidavit on the envelope. Otherwise, the bill requires the ballot to be rejected. A person who commits perjury is guilty of a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.
