Minnesota Regulations § 8230.3850 DUPLICATION OF BALLOTS
Regulation Text
Any ballots requiring duplication at the polling place or central counting center must be duplicated in the following manner:
A.
Whenever a ballot is required to be duplicated, the duplication process must be performed by two election judges not of the same political party.
B.
Whenever it is necessary to duplicate a ballot, the duplicate ballot and the original ballot must be identified with a single number written on both ballots. The number on the duplicate ballot must be the same number as on the original. When more than one ballot is being duplicated in a precinct, the numbering must be serial.
C.
The reason for duplication must be written on the duplicate ballot. The election judges duplicating the ballot shall initial the duplicated ballot and the original ballot.
D.
When duplicating a ballot, one election judge shall call from the original ballot the valid selections of the voter; another election judge shall prepare the duplicate ballot with the voter's valid selections. The duplicate ballot must be compared against the original ballot to ensure it has been accurately duplicated.
E.
All original ballots which require duplication must be placed in an envelope marked "ballots for which duplicates were or are to be made." The duplicate ballot must be placed with the other valid ballots to be tabulated.
