Connecticut Statutes § 9-240a Periodic examination of voting tabulators

Not more than two hundred ten days nor less than thirty days prior to each regular election for state officers, each voting tabulator to be used in the next succeeding regular election, including each additional tabulator required under section 9-238 , shall be examined by the company which manufactured the same or its successor or, with the approval of the Secretary of the State, by persons skilled in the mechanics and operation of such tabulator, for the purpose of determining that such tabulator is in sound operable condition for use in such election. Arrangements for such examination shall be made by the officials responsible for providing voting tabulators under section 9-238 . The company or person making such examination shall file a report with respect to each tabulator with the Secretary of the State and with such officials, indicating whether or not such tabulator is in sound operable condition. When, as a result of any such examination, a tabulator is found not to be in sound operable condition, such officials shall have such tabulator repaired, or shall provide a voting tabulator in sound operable condition to replace the tabulator found inoperable. The cost for such examination in each town shall be paid by such town. Failure to cause the examination of a voting tabulator, as herein required, shall not, of itself, prevent the use of such tabulator in any election.
