Tennessee Regulations § 1360-02-15-.13 PROCEDURE FOR MACHINES WITH 999 VOTERS

Up to Chapter 1360-02-15: Procedures for Early Voting on Mechanical Lever Machines

Regulation Text

No machine shall have more than 999 voters using it during the early voting period. If the public counter on a machine reaches 999, that machine shall be locked against any further voting. T.C.A. § 2-7-130 describes the procedure used at the polling place on election day. For early voting, the registrar, in the presence of at least one early voting official representing each political party, shall use the Officer #1 key to lock the machine against voting. The candidates' counters shall not be exposed. The "polls open" switch shall not be moved in order to prevent revealing the machine's vote totals for each candidate. The machine shall be locked and sealed. The machine shall be stored inside the election commission office or in a secure location to be determined by a majority of the members of the county election commission. A copy of the closing inspection for a machine with 999 votes may be mailed to the chairman and secretary of the county election commission, subject to the discretion of the local election commission.
