took recommendations from a recent election audit to heart last week, passing a bill to implement several suggestions to improve election security and transparency., it noted small discrepancies in the number of ballots cast and the number of votes recorded in some counties.
It also improves the use of a statewide voter database to "allow for more consistent and effective use by counties." Maloy said the bill "requires the lieutenant governor's office to manage voter registration activities, analyze county use of a database to ensure the use of building controls monthly and maintains a document describing statutory voter list maintenance for clerks.
Lastly, Maloy said the bill strengthens Utah's election audit system by prohibiting an individual from auditing their own work. It also requires the lieutenant governor to study risk-limiting audits for their potential use in the state. Lawmakers approved a separate effort sponsored by Rep. Michael Petersen, R-North Logan, which would increase the penalty for tampering with ballot drop boxes.
