     (1)  Any national standards for electronic voting in condominium association meetings or other similar contexts;

 

     (2)  Any laws in other states governing electronic voting in contexts other than public elections; and

 

     (3)  Any existing practices by condominium associations that ensure secrecy and integrity in voting; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Reference Bureau is requested to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, if any, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2019; and
