(a) A printer who prepares ballots for use at a state election will be provided a certificate to sign indicating that any overruns have been destroyed and that all official ballots ordered by the division have been delivered to the election supervisor or director. Upon receipt of the official ballots from the printer, each election supervisor shall secure the ballots. A locked room with access limited to election personnel will be provided wherever possible.
(b) When voted absentee ballots begin to arrive in the regional and director's offices, the ballots will be secured and access limited to personnel of the division and the district absentee ballot counting board. The absentee ballots will be bundled, date stamped by bundle, and processed according to the date stamped for the bundle. The information contained on the affidavit envelope will be compared to the master list of registered voters, and the name of the voter recorded in the absentee register for that district's ballots. The register may be reviewed by interested persons at any time during the election process at the elections supervisor's offices.
(c) The security of the polling place must be maintained by the election board.
(d) After the counting of voted ballots has been completed in a precinct, the election board shall seal the ballots in the envelopes provided and place their initials across the seal.
(e) The regional counting centers are located in Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Nome. Access into a regional counting center is restricted to those persons approved by the election supervisor. The election supervisor will prepare the listing of persons who will have access to the restricted area and provide those persons with the appropriate identification.

(g) Following the counting of absentee and questioned ballots at a regional counting center, the ballot containers must be sealed.

Editor's note: Amendments to 6 AAC 25.040(e) took effect on 8/9/94 as an emergency regulation and were published in Register 131 (October 1994). Due to technical corrections made by the regulations attorney to the emergency language of 6 AAC 25.040(e) , the permanent regulation as it was published in Register 132 (January 1995) differed from the emergency regulation even though the section's history note did not reflect an amendment to that section.
