This legislation updates the requirements of the canvass period following an election. The canvass is the review of votes cast by the clerk's office following election day and before the board of canvassers meets to make the results official. This changes the abstract of results to become a canvass report to be more in line with the best practices around the country. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission has published suggested best practices for what should be included in a canvass. This bill will allow many of those practices to be put in place in Idaho, giving more information to the board of canvassers and the public following an election.
