§ 19213 Voting System Certification Report

• •The report must be public and posted within 60 days of the exam.
• •It must say if the voting system is certified, conditionally approved, or not certified.
• •The report must include a clear description, drawings, and photos of the machine.

A new touchscreen voting machine is tested in a state lab. After the test is finished, the Secretary of State posts an online report that says the machine is certified and includes photos and a diagram showing its buttons and screen.

The law requires the report to be posted within 60 days, to say whether the machine is approved, and to show clear pictures and drawings so voters can see what the machine looks like and how it works.
