22-12-112. Procedure for preparing voting machines for use.
Before the polls open the judges shall compare ballots on the voting machines with the sample ballots and return sheets to see that they are correct, place the voting machine in a proper position free from obstruction and assure that the face of the machine may be viewed clearly by the voter casting the ballot but not by others. Envelopes containing keys shall not be opened if the numbers and records on them do not correspond to the numbers and records on the machine. If the numbers do not agree, the machine shall be reexamined and certified by the county clerk before it may be used.
