en · 1,674 chars · active

1.  The tests prescribed by NRS 293B.150 and 293B.165 must be conducted by processing
a preaudited group of logic and accuracy test ballots so voted or marked as to
record a predetermined number of valid votes for each candidate and on each
measure, and must include for each office one or more ballots which have votes
in excess of the number allowed by law in order to test the ability of the
mechanical recording device or the automatic tabulating equipment and programs
to reject those votes.

2.  If any error is detected, the cause
therefor must be ascertained and corrected and an errorless count must be made
before the mechanical recording device or the automatic tabulating equipment
and programs are approved.

3.  When satisfied with the accuracy of the
mechanical recording device or automatic tabulating equipment and computer
program, the accuracy certification board and the county or city clerk shall
date and sign all reports, and seal the program, if any, and the reports and
all test material in an appropriate container. The container must be kept
sealed by the clerk.

4.  Except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, the contents of such a sealed container are not subject to the
inspection of anyone except in the case of a contested election, and then only
by the judge, body or board before whom the election is being contested, or by
the parties to the contest, jointly, pursuant to an order of that judge, body
or board. For the period set forth in NRS
293.413 during which a candidate may file a statement of contest, the
results of the test must be made available in the clerk’s office for public
inspection.
