WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                      Ch. 11

furnish a printed or photographic record of the setting of the
vote-registering counters as they appear prior to the opening of
the polls the counter compartment shall not be opened nor shall
the counters be exposed to view and the printed or photographic
record shall be examined in the same manner as provided in this
subsection for the examination of counters to ascertain that all
are set at zero (000). The judges shall also inspect the face of
every machine to make sure the proper ballot labels are in proper
places and that the machine is otherwise ready for use; AND (3)
they shall inspect the paper roll for a label or line that has
been signed by the voting machine custodian and indicates the
date of the election. If a label or line is not visible, one of
the judges shall draw a line, from side to side, upon the paper
roll and date it with the election date. All judges inspecting
the machine shall place their initials on the line.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects the omission of a conjunction
in Article 33, § 16-ll(b).

The conjunction, "and", was omitted from Ch. 392 of
the Acts of 1967.

The omission of the conjunction was noted by the
Michie Company.

(d) The machine shall remain locked against voting until
the polls are opened, and shall not be operated except by voters
in voting. Should it be necessary, in the opinion of a custodian
making a repair or adjustment to a machine in use while the polls
are open, he shall be authorized to test vote the same provided
such is accomplished in the presence of two election judges, one
from the majority party and one from the principal minority
party. A written record of such test vote shall be made as set
forth in subsection (e) [hereof] OF THIS SECTION and otherwise in
accordance with such regulations as a local board may prescribe.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in an
internal reference in Article 33, § 16-ll(d).

The stylistic error occurred in Ch. 352 of the Acts of
1971.

The stylistic error was noted by the Michie Company.

(i) As used in [§§ 16-11 and 16-12] THIS SECTION AND §
16-12 of the article, the word "judges" shall refer to a
combination of judges which shall, at all times, include judges
affiliated with the majority party and the principal minority
party.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects stylistic errors in
cross-references in Article 33, § 16-ll(i).
