(a) The state board of elections shall promulgate minimum security
standards for any electronic device, and any network or system to which
the electronic device is connected, that is used to store or otherwise
access a computer generated registration list, and shall also promulgate
a list of devices that are approved for use. No local board of elections
shall be permitted to use such a device unless the state board of
elections has previously approved the device for use and has certified
that the network or system to which the electronic device is connected
is compliant with the minimum security standards.
(b) The minimum security standards for such devices shall be
commensurate with the level of security risk applicable to such devices
and shall specifically take into account any security risk associated
with voting equipment-related supply chains in addition to any other
applicable security risk.
(c) The state board of elections shall promulgate minimum redundancy
procedures to ensure a list of registration records is available that
provides necessary information in a compressed format to ensure voting
continues if the electronic computer generated registration system
becomes unavailable for any poll site or election district that utilizes
such an electronic computer generated registration list.
39. The term "name" for purposes of designating or nominating a
candidate for public office or party position shall mean an individual's
formal name or an alternate, anglicized, or familiar form of a name or
nickname, notwithstanding the candidate's proper name as it appears on
his or her voter registration form, provided that such name is
demonstrated to be commonly used to identify the candidate in the
candidate's community, does not include a descriptive term, and further
provided that the use of such name is not intended to mislead or confuse
potential signatories, and would not tend to confuse or mislead
potential signatories, as to the candidate's identity.
