§ ORS § 254.235Testing of voting machines and vote tally systems; notice of test

(1) Not later than seven days
before an election in which voting machines or vote tally systems are used, the
county clerk shall:

(a) Conduct a
preparatory test of the machine and system for logic and accuracy to ensure
that each ballot format, where appropriate, correctly tallies ballots in each
electoral contest by precinct; and

(b) Conduct a
public certification test for the vote tally system using a selection of
precincts, ballot formats and electoral districts from the preparatory test
conducted under this subsection.

(2) Prior to the
public certification test under subsection (1)(b) of this section, the county
clerk shall mail to each affiliate of a major or minor political party within
the county that has notified the clerk that notice is desired, a notice of the
time and place where the vote tally system will be publicly tested. One
representative of each party is entitled to be present to ensure that the
testing is done properly. In nonpartisan elections each candidate may designate
one representative who has the same powers as the political party
representatives. The party and candidate representatives shall certify that
they have witnessed the testing. The certificates shall be filed with the
county clerk. [1979 c.190 §247; 1993 c.797 §23; 2001 c.965 §22; 2007 c.154 §32;
