SB 407: Elections: official canvass.
What SB 407 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to amend the elections code to speed up the official canvass process. The new deadlines would require the official canvass to begin within 10 days of the election, with the certified statement of results due 11 days later. Additionally, the secretary of state would need to file the statement of vote within 2 days of receiving results from all county elections officials. The bill would also impose state-mandated local costs, requiring the state to reimburse local agencies for certain expenses.
