This bill extends the time election officials must keep ballots and other election materials before destroying them from 60 days to 22 months after an election. The longer retention period applies to all elections (federal, state, and local), giving more time for recounts, legal challenges, or audits to be completed. The bill also clarifies that municipal elections follow the same 22-month retention requirement as other elections.
