• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 22: Elections
• Ch. 14: POLLING PLACE REGULATIONS AFTER POLLS CLOSE

Text

(a) In voting machine polling places, the judges of
election shall cast all remaining absentee ballots on a voting
machine in the manner prescribed by W.S. 22-9-121 and shall lock
and seal the voting machines. They shall certify in writing that
the machine was locked and sealed, stating the time, the number
of voters voting on each machine as shown on the public
counters, the number on the seal, and the number registered on
the protective counter.
(b) Election judges shall then determine the number of
votes cast on each voting machine used in the polling place by
opening the machine or obtaining a photographic or mechanical
printed return sheet from the machine.
(c) After the voting machine is opened or the printed
return sheet obtained, an election judge or counting board
member shall read and clearly announce the designating number or
letter on each counter for each candidate or ballot proposition
and the results shown by the counter numbers. The vote shall be
verified by another election judge or counting board member.
(d) In machine polling places, write-in votes shall be
counted and the results tallied by the election judges or
counting board after the regular ballots are counted.
(e) After the vote has been tallied from a voting machine
and before the official count is certified, the judges of
election shall subtract any vote recorded on a machine when the
machine was inspected prior to opening the polls.
(f) This section does not vitiate the provisions of W.S.
22-9-125 permitting an alternate procedure for counting absentee
ballots or the provisions of W.S. 22-14-114(b) permitting the
counting of ballots at a central counting center.
