This law says that right after voting ends, the precinct board must quickly get all the voting supplies and records ready and send them to the elections official.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must act as soon as possible after the polls close.
  • •They must prepare all supplies, including copies of the voter list or roster posted near the polling place.
  • •They must deliver the election records to the elections official.

Example

On election night, the town's precinct board collects the printed voter list that was posted at the polling place, the vote tallies, and any other paperwork, packs them up, and ships them to the county elections office.

Because the law requires the board to act as soon as possible after the polls close, they gather the list and records right away and deliver them to the elections official for safekeeping and review.
