Regulation Text
(1)
No punch card voting device using electronic computers or automatic tabulating devices for the tabulating of the results of any election shall be certified in the State of Tennessee unless such computers or tabulating devices may be programmed to:
(a)
Reject all votes for any office or measure when the number of votes exceeds the number which the voter is entitled to cast;
(b)
Reject all votes for an office or measure for which the voter is not entitled to vote;
(c)
Report the results by precinct for each office and each measure properly appearing on the ballot and periodically report cumulative totals throughout the counting procedure; and
(d)
Accept, in any order, general election ballots and primary ballots for any party appearing on such ballots and accurately tally the results of each such primary and general election individually. By this requirement, it is meant that the tallying of one election need not be completed before the next election is tallied and that general election ballots and majority party ballots and minority party ballots need not be segregated before being fed into the computer or automatic tallying device.
