⤴ Up to Chapter 242: Standards for Approval of Marksense and Punchcard Voting Machines

Regulation Text

In accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 9-242 the punchcard or marksense system shall permit each voter to vote in an election:
(1) for all the persons and offices for whom the voter is lawfully entitled to vote,
(2) for as many persons for an office as the voter is entitled to vote, and
(3) on any ballot referenda on which the voter is entitled to vote. In accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 9-242 , the punchcard and marksense systems shall be designed and constructed in a manner which warns the voter when he has voted for more than the number of candidates to which he is legally entitled to vote for an office. The machine shall warn the voter and return the ballot to the voter giving him an opportunity to vote a new ballot. The voting machine shall prohibit the voter from casting more than one ballot in an election. The voting machine shall count only one vote of a voter for a candidate nominated by more than one party for the same office and prevent the counting of a vote (including a write-in vote) of a voter for the same candidate more than once for the same office. The voting machine shall count no votes for an office where the voter voted for more than the permitted number of candidates for an office.
