(a) Notification. The Inspector picks up election supplies and ballots at the County Election Board office before election day. About ten days before the election, the County Election Board Secretary notifies the Inspector of the date, time, and place to receive supplies and ballots for the precinct.
(b) Precinct Check List. When picking up election supplies, the Inspector uses a Precinct Check List form to verify that all the supplies are included in the correct quantity. The Inspector places a check mark beside each item in the shaded column labeled "Insp."
(c) Items received. The Inspector receives these items.
(1) Election supplies. The Inspector receives the election supplies. The election supplies may be packed in a box, an envelope, a bag, a binder or other container. The election supplies include the Precinct Official Notebook, signs, envelopes, keys, ballpoint pens, and other items Precinct Officials need on election day.
(2) Precinct Registry. The Inspector receives the Precinct Registry or Registries for the precinct. The Precinct Registry is a printed list of the names and addresses of all the registered voters in the precinct.

For General Elections, the Precinct Registry is arranged in alphabetical order but it is not separated by political affiliation.
(3) Keys. The Inspector receives two keys - the round ballot box key and the square voting device key. The round ballot box key unlocks both locks on the main compartment of the ballot box, the door of the emergency compartment of the ballot box and the rear door of the ballot box. The square voting device key unlocks both locks on the voting device case. The keys are together on a key ring and enclosed in the unsealed voting device key envelope.
(4) Ballots. The Inspector receives the ballots for the precinct. The precinct's ballots are listed on the Precinct Check List form. There may be only one ballot or several ballots depending on the type of election or elections being conducted on a particular date. Ballots are bound in books of 100 ballots. The Inspector must be sure that the ballot quantities listed on the Precinct Check List are included in the supplies.
(5) Voting Device. The Inspector receives the voting device that has been prepared for the precinct.
(d) Inspector signs form. After verifying that all items listed on the Precinct Check List are present in the correct quantities, the Inspector signs the form in the space provided at the bottom and returns the signed form to the Secretary. [26:7-103]
