6 AAC 25.045. Accu-Vote tests and security

Before an election, the Accu-Vote counting program must be tested as follows:

(1) the state ballot counting review board is responsible for certifying the initial logic and accuracy test of the Accu-Vote counting program and memory cards;

(2) the regional Accu-Vote review board or Accu-Vote coordinator is responsible for verifying the logic and accuracy test of the Accu-Vote counting program and preparing the memory cards for election use;

(3) before the opening of the polls on election day at locations where there is an Accu-Vote precinct tabulator, the election board is responsible for certifying that the precinct tabulator prints a zero totals report;

(4) before counting absentee or questioned ballots, the regional Accu-Vote review board will verify that a zero totals report is printed before each memory card is used; if the same memory card is used in a subsequent count, the board will print a totals report before resuming count, and verify that it matches the totals report from the subsequent count.
