§ 3-11-14-13 — Preparation and adjustment of system before delivery

(a) Before an electronic voting system is
delivered to a precinct, the county election board shall have the system
put in order, set and adjusted, and ready for use in voting. As part of
the system's preparation, the county election board may conduct any of
the comparisons and determinations required under section 17 of the
chapter. However, notwithstanding any action taken by the county
election board, each precinct election board must also perform the
comparisons and determinations required under section 17 of this
chapter before the opening of the polls. The board may employ one (1)
or more competent persons to prepare systems in accordance with this
section.
(b) While acting under subsection (a), the county election board
may restrict access to parts of the room where voting systems and other
election material are being handled to safeguard this material.
