§ 19216 Voting System Modification Rules
This law says you can't change a voting machine or any part of it after it’s been approved until the Secretary of State is told about the change and says it won’t mess up the vote.
A county election office wants to install a new software update on its voting machines before an election.
They have to send a written notice to the Secretary of State, wait for the Secretary to decide the update won’t hurt the machines' accuracy or speed, and only then can they install it.
