Sec. 59. (a) Whenever a county wishes to dispose of a voting system unit or an electronic poll book unit, the county election board must first file a plan with the election division. The plan must state:
(1) the serial number of each unit to be disposed of by the county;
(2) the method to be used for disposal of the equipment, including sale, transfer, or destruction of the equipment; and
(3) that the disposal will occur in compliance with federal and state laws requiring the retention of election materials until the expiration of the period specified by those laws.
(b) If the election division approves the proposed plan, the election division shall notify:
(1) the county election board, which may then dispose of the equipment; and
(2) the voting system technical oversight program (VSTOP) (established by IC 3-11-16-2).
