Assembly Bill 996, authored by Assemblymember Evan Low, calls for any statewide election with a margin of less than 25 votes or 0.25% of the cast ballots to be subjected to an automatic recount, which mirrors Santa Clara County\u2019s automatic recount policy for county elections. The bill would also require contributors who spend $10,000 or more on voter-requested recounts to be reported to county election officials and publicized within 24 hours.
