SACRAMENTO (AP) - Secretary of State Kevin Shelley recertified electronic voting systems in Shasta and Tehama counties Tuesday, bringing to five the number of counties allowed to use touch-screen voting in the Nov. 2 election.

Earlier this month, Shelley recertified voting systems in Santa Clara, Merced and Orange counties.

Shelley said the five counties agreed to new security conditions to use their machines in the November presidential election, including making paper ballots available to those who want to use them. The counties also agreed to share their computer source code with independent experts for analysis and undertake a new program of poll worker training on electronic voting machines.
