PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 49.64, Code 2001, is amended to read as
  1  2 follows:
  1  3    49.64  NUMBER OF BALLOTS DELIVERED.
  1  4    The commissioner shall cause ballots of the kind to be
  1  5 voted in each precinct, to be delivered deliver to the
  1  6 precinct election officials as follows:  in general elections
  1  7 which are presidential elections seventy-five ballots for
  1  8 every fifty votes, or fraction thereof, cast in said precinct
  1  9 at the last preceding general election which was also a
  1 10 presidential election; and in general elections which are not
  1 11 presidential elections, seventy-five ballots for every fifty
  1 12 votes, or fraction thereof, cast therein at the last preceding
  1 13 general election which was not a presidential election a
  1 14 sufficient number of ballots of each kind to be voted in the
  1 15 precinct.  In determining the number of ballots, the
  1 16 commissioner shall take into consideration the number of
  1 17 active and inactive registered voters in the precinct, the
  1 18 number of people who voted in the precinct in previous similar
  1 19 elections, the number of contested and uncontested races on
  1 20 the ballot, public measures appearing on the ballot, and the
  1 21 local political conditions that may affect participation in
  1 22 the election.  
  1 23                           EXPLANATION 
  1 24    This bill eliminates the mathematical formula for
  1 25 calculating the number of ballots to be delivered to polling
  1 26 places for primary and general elections and instead allows
  1 27 the county commissioner of elections to make the decision
  1 28 based upon voter registration figures, previous turnout, the
  1 29 content of the ballot, and other local political conditions.
