Counties would send cast vote records to the secretary of state and make them public

The county board of supervisors or elections officer would send the cast vote record to the secretary of state in a sortable format. A cast vote record is an electronic record of voters' selections, captured by a tabulation device from a ballot or ballot image, that cannot be linked to a specific voter. The record must be unaltered, and the original files cannot be randomized or otherwise changed. For precincts, precinct splits, and ballot styles with fewer than 25 registered voters, the record would show only the number of voters and the number of cast vote records. The record is due within 48 hours after the county board sends its canvass to the secretary of state.

The transmitted information and records would be public records. This covers the cast vote record information sent to the secretary of state.
