Minn. R. agency 133, ch. 8230, PROCEDURES FOR CENTRAL COUNT OPTICAL SCAN VOTING SYSTEMS, pt. 8230.2030 - POLLING PLACE PROCEDURES
A. At the
polling place after voting hours have ended, the election judges shall open the
ballot box, remove the ballots, and determine the total number of ballots in
the box. If the number of ballots is greater than the number of persons voting
and it is impossible to reconcile the numbers, the ballots must be replaced in
the ballot box and one of the election judges shall publicly draw out a number
of ballots equal to the excess. The excess ballots must be marked "excess" and
placed in an envelope. The envelope then must be sealed. The judges shall write
"excess ballots" on the outside of the envelope and put it in the transfer
case. A notation of the pertinent facts must be made on the incident report. If
the number of ballots counted is less than the number of persons voting, the
reason for the discrepancy must be noted in the incident report. If the judges
are unable to explain the discrepancy, they shall so state in the incident
report.
B. The election judges must
identify ballots that will need to be duplicated at the central counting center
or process ballots requiring duplication prior to transporting them to the
central counting center. Ballots requiring duplication must be duplicated as
provided in part
8230.3850.
