- Adds a five-day deadline for challenging a sealed voting machine and specifies that challenges must be filed as a complaint in district court. (Page 4, lines 13-9)
- Reduces the advance notice period for electronic voting system testing from five days to two days before the test. (Page 5, line 20)
