(a) Before preparing a voting machine for an election, the
county clerk shall notify in writing the county chairman of each
political party having a candidate on the ballot and all
independent candidates, stating the time and place where the
voting machine will be prepared for the election. The political
party representatives and representatives of independent
candidates may be present at the preparation of the voting
machine for the election, to see that the machine is tested for
accuracy and is properly prepared and that all registering
counters are set at zero (00000). The county clerk in the
presence of these representatives shall prepare the voting
machine for the election and set all registering counters at
zero (00000). He shall then test each registering counter for
accuracy by casting votes on it until the registering counter is
correctly registering each vote cast on it. The county clerk
shall then reset each registering counter to zero (00000) and
shall immediately lock and seal the voting machine with a
numbered metal seal and make a record of the number of the seal
on the certificate for the machine. The seal shall be so placed
as to prevent operation of the machine or its registering
counters without breaking the seal. The county clerk shall then
immediately make a record on the certificate for the machine of
the reading shown on the protective counter.
(b) Inspection of voting machines may begin two (2) weeks
before an election and continue until all machines to be used
are sealed. Immediately following testing of a machine, the
county clerk shall make a certificate in writing stating the
serial number of each machine, whether the machine has all the
registering counters set at zero (00000), and whether the
machine has been tested by voting on each registering counter to
prove that each registering counter is in perfect and accurate
condition, the number registered on the protective counter, and
the number on the seal with which the machine is sealed against
operation. This certificate shall be kept on file in the office
of the county clerk.
