1. Securely identifying and authenticating voters for online voting.

3. Making and retaining a secure and accurate record of the votes cast and providing for post-election verification of voter identification and eligibility.
4. Implementation of the pilot program in at least one county and at least one city, town or other local election jurisdiction.
5. Advance review and approval or refusal of a jurisdiction's proposed online voting process established pursuant to this section.

The secretary of state shall consult with county, city and town elections officers in developing the online voting pilot program and shall provide an opportunity for review and comment by the public before finalization and implementation of the program in any one or more jurisdictions.
C. This section is repealed from and after December 31, 2016.
