All programming of vote tabulating machines shall be tested under the supervision of the county clerk. The machines shall be programmed so that votes will be counted in accordance with the specifications for electronic voting machines.
History: 1978 Comp., § 1-11-6.1, enacted by Laws 1985, ch. 207, § 26; 1991, ch. 105, § 21; 2011, ch. 137, § 76.
The 2011 amendment, effective July 1, 2011, eliminated the requirement that county clerks test electronic voting machines ten days before the election and retain the logic and accuracy test printout; and eliminated the requirement that all counters be set at zero and sealed after they are tested.
The 1991 amendment, effective April 2, 1991, in Subsection A, substituted "logic and accuracy test printout, known as the internal audit trail" for "test cards and results of the test" in the third sentence and "test ballots used in the marksense voting machines" for "test cards used in the electronic vote tabulating machines" in the fourth sentence.
