2-2-137. Alternative electronic or microfilm registration system.

(a)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter to the contrary, a county election commission may adopt a supplemental system for maintaining registration records utilizing electronic, electromechanical or microfilm equipment. If the election commission exercises its option to scan or microfilm the original permanent record, the filmed or scanned record shall be the legal document of registration. If the election commission microfilms or scans the registration document, the original hard copy shall be retained, but may be retained at any location designated by the election commission.

(b)  [Deleted by 2008 amendment.]

(c)  The coordinator of elections in consultation with the state election commission shall determine whether a supplemental system meets the requirements of this section and whether such system is compatible with any statewide system being operated by the secretary of state's office. The coordinator of elections shall establish minimum requirements for certification that allow the county election commissions to perform the duties required by this title.
