Voting squares or ovals may be before or after the names of candidates and statements of questions, and shall be of such size as is compatible with the type of system used.

(c) Before, during and after the operation of the polling place, the election judges shall make all electronic or electromechanical voting systems and vote tabulating equipment available to any candidate or any authorized poll agent for review to ensure there is no connectivity to the internet or to any other communications or computer network, including, but not limited to, a local area network, wireless network, cellular network or satellite network, or using bluetooth or any other wireless communications technology.
